I have a rough country 3" lift on my 79' J10 and am in the process of installing blocks (I know they suck but the back is too low and I'm poor). I got 3" blocks which are a little taller then what I want but what I want to do is remove the very bottom overload spring. Its about half an inch thick and is completely flat. I've got the U-bolts off one side and the axle is free from the spring, but the bottom overload spring still won't come off. Its not held in by the spring clamps about half way up the springs so what gives, whats holding it on?
I have another question related to the springs also. Its about the little wedge that is supposed to correct the pinion angle when you install the lift. Should the big end of the wedge be facing the front of the truck or the back? It also wont come off of the springs.
Please let me know what I should do, I'd like to finish putting these blocks on tonight but I really want to remove the over load spring before I do it.
