I'll try and take some pics tomarow.
It's like kjett said, you use a bolt to hold the spring pack together. A new center pin that is bolted to just the zero rate keeps the axle in check, and is where you get your wheelbase adjustability (1-1.5").
To confuse even more I'll tell you all this, you HAVE to drill a hole 1.5"s offset of the original on the u-bolt plate to make room for the spring center "bolt" that goes through the zero rate and the leaf pack.
