1. Are the Side Retaining Bolts Necessary?
The guy on the Frontier site below said the center bolt on his Springpak Broke because it was so weak.. (Oh GREAT!) and the biggest issue was getting things to line up on the Axle when he was ready to raise it back up.. He had to use a Ratcheting Cargo Strap to get things to line up. Holy COW!.
2. Is the Axle alignment that difficult? once your ready to jack it back up?
THanks!

1. When I had my Frontier I didn't use the retaining bolts, I said what the heck and put them on my Tundra.
The guy on there tried to cinch the spring pack together with the centerpin, The stock center pins would strip out the same. The centerpin shouldn't be used to cinch the pack together, thats what the C-clamps and mallet are for.
1. The axle on my Tundra was easy to align with the spring pack, my Frontier was a little harder ( didn't have to use a ratchet strap though) an extra set of hands did make it a lot easier on my Tundra since the axle is much bigger.
I hope I cleared that up a liitle bit
