You will have to drill a hole in the ubolt plate for the new offset spring pin location. The kit includes the machined "leaves" along with new center pins and bolts to install them. To mount the leaf centered on the spring, you simply run the full length center pin through the center hole of the leaf and through the pin hole in the spring pack. This will move your axle forward or backward 1" or 1.5" depending on which hole you use and which way you mount the leaf. To use the offset, you bolt the leaf to your spring using one of the offset holes and cut the center pin off to bolt into the leaf in the center hole. Since these are a true bolt in leaf, they are safe to use on the front or rear suspension for extra ride height or to relocate the axle. So they're an add a leaf that won't stiffen the springs, they add "zero" to the rate. We didn't want to call them add a leaves since most people think add a leaves will stiffen the springs. Well, we didn't want to call them blocks since they're really not a true block, they bolt to the spring pack just like another leaf. Most Blazers and Suburbans sit low in the rear, and a lot of truck owners also want to relocate their axles forward or back a little for better fender clearance or for a bit more wheelbase and driveshaft length. The top corners are radiused to prevent stress risers in the spring pack. You can also leave the axle right on the spring center pin if you like and only use them to raise the truck 1". These short leaves are CNC machined solid steel with offset holes to allow you to move the axle 1" or 1.5" forward or backward from the spring pin location.
