leafspring question
I bought a set of 9 inch lift leafsprings from pacific leaf and axle in langley, it cost me over 1400 bux and they dont fit!! I have taken them back to the place and explained they were to short ( like 4 or 5 inches) and they told me to stretch them out. so i devised a contraption with some huge u bolts and some metal that stretched my leaf springs out so they would just fit on the hangers. my problem is that i flipped the rear shackle on my truck, so when i let the tension on my leafs off it pulls that hanger piece between the leaf and the hanger on the frame straight forward. should i take my leaf springs back and demand satistfaction? or should i move my front leaf hangers backwards and move my back hangers forwards? or will this mess with the geometry?
i hope some of this makes sence to someone
