I will be hanging my new front springs this WE does anyone hae a pic of the Stack up to include the direction of the wedges and the top saddles ? They both can go two ways I realise the wedges need to tilt the axle to the rear but there is a land if you will that has to face either in or out on the saddle, and the wedge also faces in a prescribed postion.I wish I had Donnie's manual.

Re: front spring "Stack up"
Thanks Donnie , as you know my bump stop[s are hung off the "frame rail" the "U" bolts sit in a block with two trofs that except the ubols both the top spring block and the wedge seem to have a protrusion on one side so I wonder if it will make any differance in their positioning I think it will self explanitory once I get it all together.

Mine is missing the wedges and tracks just fine and doesn't burn tires. I don't know if it has the original spring stack but it sure appears that way. I'd, of course, put your wedges back in if I had them. I only mention the wedges as I'm curious if other's are missing and if it made any difference.

,,,you can get an alignment check to see what you got,,,,,,,toe, camber, caster,,,,,,,the shim is there to tilt the front wheels back like motorcycle forks so that van handles the bumps and ruts in the road better,,,,,,

,,the main thing about the caster shims do is they help let the steering wheel roll back to straight position once you make a turn,,,,,,and keep the van going straight down the road,,,,,
