Leaf Spring Centering Dowel/Pin
All,
I have been to multiple parts stores looking for one of these and cannot find a clerk competent enough. It is the pin that goes through the center of your leaf spring with a dowel end on it so that it goes into the hole on the axle/lift block. Mine is busted all to hell and the axle creeps forward and backward. Does anyone know a parts number for one of these or where to buy one?

Probably going to need to go to a place that specializes in suspension to get them, or find a place online to order them from.
Otherwise what I have done a couple times is use a grade 8 bolt and take a grinder and make the head round.

What you need is called a leaf spring center bolt... Some samples can be viewed here: Special Head Leaf Spring Center Bolts, Suspension Parts
