Anyone Using A Jack Bolt Setup??
Like the title says. I ordered some 10" 150# rear springs and am planning on using a "jack bolt" setup so I can get a little bit of adjust-ability in the ride height in the rear.
I'm just wondering if anyone else is using a setup like this?

Another option for you is to get some circle track car coil over parts and make it adjustable that way. You can assemble your own collars for the rear to adjust the height. Price wouldn't be much either.

I have been using a type of weight jck for well over a year now with no issues. I have adjusted it multiple times with other mods and think they were a great little project.
I installed mine a bit different, above the axle Iused a big holesawbit to drill outthe factory location and welded in my adjustment plate. Then Iused a set of factory isolators over the adjustment screw.

The bottom of the firestone 9000 air springs should fit right over the top of the L & R spring retainers on the spring seats.

I didn't really look that hard. Do you have your airbags bolted to the axle? Or do they just sit on the coil spring mount? One of my bags has a leak and I was worried that I burned a hole in it welding, but I will find out this weekend for sure. I'm going to take the bags out and see if I have a leak in the schrader valves, the fittings, or the bag itself. But my coil springs will be here tomorrow, at least I will have a backup plan if I don't like the bags.
Thanks for the response. When is our axle suppose to be done? Its WAY cooler getting to see it in person vs all of the pics
