I purchased a new set of leaf springs for my 97 Sport. They are the 4-leaf packs for the 2001-2002 Sport model. I have three questions.

1. How hard are these to install?
2. Is there any chance of getting the rear axle off-set?
3. Will I need a 4-wheel alignment after installation?

Any info would be appreciated.

It will tell you step by step what you have to do to swap your leaf springs. I did that write up for my 97 Sport, so it should look exactly like yours!
 






CBoug76,

Thanks for the reply and info. Looks pretty much cut and dry. Guess I'll be doing this in about a month along with installing a set of factory traction bars I bought. Hopefully, I'll remember to take some PRE and POST measurements.
