Re: Can’t remember where these go.

That does help for sure. This car has been apart for a while now. I may have to get a picture if I can't figure it out. Thanks again.

Re: Maverick rearend swap

If that's the rubber between the shock plate and leaf I would install new while it's apart.

Re: Maverick rearend swap

I've read on various forums it is a direct fit. The leafs and shock plates should all work back but not having one here to measure I thought I would see if anyone else has done this and what are the gotcha's if any.
