HELP:
I've located some leaf spring retainer plates from a 79 Bronco w/ a 35 spline 9". These broncos ran 3" wide leaf springs. I'm runnin 2.5" wide springs right now.
Would I be safe to use these?
The guy I could buy them from also has a set of retainer plates from an early bronco with a 9".
IIRC, the EBs used 2.5" wide leafs.
Now I have a 35 spline 9". Is the axle tube a different size? Would the u-bolts still line up with the holes in the plate?
I guess I can just get some plate and drill it out, but that's a bitch, and I'm lazy.
any ideas?
