I have a mIII and I am putting in the upper rear spring mounts and I see that the two holes line up ok but there are two other holes that meet the frame rail, do I have to drill them out and out bolts in them??? I am sure that it just dosnt sit like that
thanks in advance

Fire Snake.....I ran into the same delema. I saw in the book that the rear spring perch shows one way,,but if you do it that way the perches do not line up with the frame rail. I put the perch tward the rear, basically on the otherside of the vertical pc of steel. At that location it lined up snug. I am past that stage now and the difference is only about 1/8th inch. The perch was bolted in, the horizontal (2) and the 2 vertical(drilled). Make sure you use washers. the inside ones are trickey. oh by the way ,,I am taking it for granted you were using the solid axle,,go luck,,steve
