Wheel hops like an animal!

The saddles are the c-shaped parts that fit around the axle tubes and the flat side of the C mates to the springs. When I did the flip on my 92 the rearend actually got better rather than worse, then again I had an xcab and I had all the pieces installed including the carrier bearing spacer.

are these also known as U bolts?

nope, its the part that should be mated to the spring and the points go up into the original spring mounts that are welded to the axle tubes.

Alright i took a look at it now these saddles they come from the bottom of the axel and kind of lock everything in place correct and i can see how if they were positioned wrong id would screw things up a bit but how do i know if they are correct? also i think the u bolts need to be torqued down hard when i roll my truck the axel moves not cool maybe she loosed up from the hopping i dont know i just know i cranked um on hard the first time. lemme know thanks!

whoa yeah no axle movement! I have a similar problem with my u-bolts coming loose. Gotta remember to tighten them before long trips :p I had to buy wedges to change my pinion angle the western chassis didnt supply anything. And you did bolt up a C-notch and cut a piece of your frame out?

On the Beltech kits the shorter leg on the saddle adapter goes towards the front if I remember correctly. I don't have access to my instruction manual right now. I'll try to look when I get back to the house.
