Hi guys - I am installing a set of AFCO sliders and note that the full travel length is 4-inches. That appears to be the same length that my leaf spring will extend from unloaded to fully flat. I'm concerned about being able to install and remove the spring and still have full travel without binding when the spring is fully loaded and flat.
Right now I plan on locating them with the springs unloaded, connected to the front hangers, and with the pin in the slider all the way forward. This should work, but still leaves no room for error. The slider has 4 inches of travel and the springs will be 4 inches longer when loaded flat.
Am I missing something or concerned about nothing? Experienced install tips please!
