Leaf spring centering pins

Feb 21, 2006 4 Replies

WHen I did my 2.5 RE lift on my YJ I added shims to the rear. The shims had holes in them. When you add shims do you need to use longer leaf centering pins so the pins go through the shim and into the spring plate?



I going higher soon and want to insure I install the new springs and shims correctly.



Yes you need that pin to tag the plate. I have seen spring packs move out of place.

Rubicon Express should have sent a set of center pins with the new springs. If not, give them a call. They sell 5/16" and 3/8" sets that are longer than needed and you cut off the excess after the install:

Or you might be able to find them at a local suspension shop.
