    quick question

     



    I have a '68 camaro rear for my '35 and I got some replacement rubber spring pads. The set comes with two pads for each side, but I have 3" lowering blocks. So my question is do I use a pad b/w the rear and block and the spring and lower bracket and use nothing b/w the block and spring? Thanks

    I don't think any pads are required. But if they fit well over the spring bolt and then into the lowering block or shock plate, thats where they were intended to be used.

    In stock applications, they go on both sides of the spring.

    I guess I can see how they might not be required, but I figured they would help against squeeks. Either way I already bought them, but now my U bolts aren't long enough . I guess it's either scrap the pads or get longer U bolts...
