Help with Roadmaster
Please help--
Just got my RAS set-up from Roadmaster and I have a few ??s.
1- How do I tell if I have overload springs? I only count 4 leafs on each side.
2- Right now there is about 1/2 inch of u-bolt threads exposed above the nuts holding down the top plate and the plate from Roadmaster is 1/4 inch thick, giving me at the most only 1/4 of exposed threads once the system is mounted. Should I get longer u-bolts and would a dealer have them in stock?
Thanks for replys, I'd like to get this mounted very soon.

1) ??? I have 4 leafs on my 4x4, the Roadmasters helped alot!
2) You do not need to get longer U-bolts. I mounted the Roadmaster plates just by reaching over the tire and removing the U-Bolts/plate and rebolting it back together. Then I jacked it up, removed the tires to let the axel hang, and mounted and adjusted the roadmaster spring tension.
