*what do i do about the snubbers in the front, they don't look removable and there is metal around 1/2 of the snubber. Can I remove the rubber, cut with my Portaband 1/2 of the metal part off, then cut the snubber down a little?*
this is what i'm using as a helper.

I did see that there is a flat peice of metal that goes under the leaf with the flip. I don't see one in my Mcghauphy kit, do i just reuse the stock one? Along with the u-bolts and all that jazz?
