The susp kit comes with an upper bracket that offers the center top pivot mount - so no drilling your axels.....
Also - the main leaf set comes with 2 metal leafs - I placed one at the bottom of the stack and then one above 2 plastic leaves - this offers a slip plate above the leafs. When I was assembling and testing I had noticed that the clevis above the axel that snares the leafs was catching on one of the leafs. The leaf was jsut hte right length to keep the axel from floating.
In all I really like the susp kit - top notch and well designed. very detailed and realistic. I trust these leafs - not sure hwat they can handle but they have good strength - they are also taperd in thickness towards the ends as well. Nice molded in curvature too.
