For those of you about to undertake Mod 71, I just finished mine today. The
instructions are pretty good except
to let you know it will take more than one person to install the Mod. I had
2 friends helping out and it still
took a coupled of hours and a lot of hard work. The springs go onto the top
easy enough but the sterch to the bottom
is a real bugger. Have a long crow bar or some way of streching the spring
down onto the lower attachment ready when you
begin the job.

I used the "brilliant" idea put foreword in the instruction to stretch the springs. Getting the "banana curve" out of them by a small bit of hammering on the bolts.  The springs just dropped in place, one handed.  easy.

Al,

I am about to do my mod 71. Did you follow the advice to stretch the
springs and wedge them apart with 1/4 in. spacers or did you find some
other way?

Richard,
I used the 1/4" bolts according to the directions, but if I had it to do
again I would have used
bolts on each side instead of one side. And yes Cliff, mine sets higher than
with the bunjee's.
