Leaf spring center pins

[grunt]

I tried the search button and can't find the info...so what size and length is the stock pin for the leaf springs and what length do I need for
a 4 degree steel shims made by "warrior". thanks...

The pin size is 3/8". You usually have to cut them to length. They are sold longer than they need to be. At least all the ones I have used. I just used a C clamp to hold it all together and cut the bolt to that length of spring and shim.

most are 5/16" diameter
and carry a spare or two with you for trail use
when one breaks and the axle moves around on the trail, you'll need it to get home.

So I'm guessing a stock pin is 3/8...will this center pin be long enough?...

Yes Grunt, those are the ones I buy and use. They are plenty long, just cut to what you need.

Got my shims and center pins. Before I dig in, what are the spacers for that came with the center pins? Also my "warrior" steel shims on one side has a recess where the center pin in goes. I know the "fat" side goes toward the front end. Does the flatside on the shim without the recess go up or down? Any info is appreciated..

The spacers are if you need a taller head to fit into the spring perch to center it. The recess on the shim should go up toward the spring perch, and the flat side against the springs. You are bolting the shim to the spring pack.
