Now that the leafs are removed you can lift one end at a time and install the spring plates and the u-bolts and snug the nuts and adjust and keep a stand under each side. Now that they are both attached and level torque the u-bolts to specs.. When finished lift the diff from the center again and put the tires back on and snug up the lug nuts. Then attach the shocks and loosely tighten the bottom nuts and remove the small stands. Lift the truck to remove the big stands and lower to the ground. Tighten the lug nuts and shock nuts to specs and you are through. You may need to re-torque the u-bolts to specs after a week or so....
