Leaf spring installation?

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just got my leaf springs back from getting re-arched.  When I
re-install them, should I be greasing anything or doing anything
special other than bolting it all back together?

FYI, I took them to Noel at Long Island Spring Works, who's been doing
it since 1963.  He's a bit of a local legend around here among the
guys who know.  They look great and it was only $170 total for both
springs including a new leaf, paint, bushings and new U-bolts.  Plus
it was 24 hour turn-around.  Seems like a pretty good deal.

My buddy and I managed to get everything off in about 2 hours.  In
hindsight, I probably could have saved an hour cutting the U-bolts.
After sitting on the floor tugging the breaker bar for an hour, I feel
like I could row a viking ship.
