<strong>In the 5th pic in this link http://dreamwater.com/zuk/sua.html I am using a 5/8" killer plate with 5/8" u-bolts....the plates were "stressing" at a mere 100 ft/lbs......the packs kept loosening up cause the plates kept giving more and more.....problem went away with 2 pieces of flatstock of dimensions .25x1.25x3.5 welded on the front and back side of the flat plate....beefed it up 10 times. Now when I tighten up the u-bolts I don't feel the plates giving anymore. By the way, that SUA is startin to grow on me!</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Your plates are bending because your leaf UNDER and the truck weight is on the PLATE not directly on the Axle

Why are you Leaf Under and not over????? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
