add a leafs

ok my add a leafs showed up today and it may be a dumb question but where do they install in the leaf pack, i think its the bottom in this case but im not sure, and do they go in with the arch up or the arch down. in the past its been fairly obvious but with these damn flat two leaf springs i dont know.

ya, because both your leafs are full length it would go under them. cut your old centering pin, clamp the new spring under the old, run the new centering pin though all 3 and tighten the new pin.

the hole on them is very very offset. I don't think it's possible to put them on backwards
