>>I have rebuilt
the rear leaf spring eyes and shackles on my 3100TF, and upon reaching the
point where I can bolt everything up, the springs have relaxed and are nearly
2" short of reaching the shackle mounts (with the forward eyes attached).
Actually, "relaxing" would indicate LOSS of tension, and they would be
LONGER, not shorter. :D The rear shackles should pivot and swing forward
enough to engage the holes. Are the stock front leafs shorter than the
rears, and they got mixed up if you got both sets replaced? Just a
thought....
