Well, one of my leaf spring wear pads has gone missing causing an ungodly squeaking. Im looking to replace all of them while im replacing that one. All of the auto parts stores here say they dont carry them ( how lame ) so im going to order them online.

My question is which of these should I order ? I know the leafs are 2.5 inches wide, but I dont know what they mean by " single ", " double ", & " off center ".

You want the single hole style, not double or offset

oh, i see its for the hole huh, never have replaced these before.

So is this a pain to do or what ? It looks like I should just be able to take the weight off the springs and ill be able to pry the leafs apart enough to slide them in there.

You got it now...jack your ride up by the frame to unload the tension on the leafs and install the pads. its only a pain if you get your fingers stuck between the leafs, lol!
