Well I finished the install today on my 09 KZ Spree 261RKS. I haven't read all 31 pages so I'm not sure if this issue has been addressed. My rear axle when unloaded bows up in the center. This bow put the rear spring eye in a bind(twisting one end up) not allowing the holes to line up enough to insert the bolt through both sides of the hanger.
After spending a couple hours trying to get it in the right position I decided to loosen the axle from the spring and that did the trick. I loosened up the U bolts enough to completely free the spring allowing me to twist it enough to line up the holes. I had the same issue on the other side but with my new knowledge it was a quick fix. I torqued the U bolts to 80lbs. Anyone know what is the correct torque?
I hope to take it for a test run tomorrow before we head out on a three day weekend.
Thank you for all the effort that has gone into this thread!
