Ed,
Where does the problem come in on the BJ8? Is it hooking to the trunnion
then being too far away from the axle for the u-bolts to reach?
On my roadster, I attached the springs at the front and rear, then jacked up
the spring plate under the spring with a bottle jack until I could get the
u-bolts through the holes.
If this won't work on the BJ8, couldn't one make some temporary longer
u-bolts out of all-thread rod, cinch up the axle using those, then replace
them one at a time with the stock u-bolts?
