I did the upgrade of a 2012 Leaf with 62kWh pack a few weeks ago. You need a CAN bridge and a couple longer bolts due to the pack being 40mm taller. I did not put back the 2 belly pan plastic sheets under the battery box, they no longer fit. I *did* put back the front pan, between front axle and front lip of the battery, which will also divert wind, sand and moisture away from the battery. Once you have the pack installed, you must charge fully to max to let the CAN bridge and the car learn the new capacity. I did not (yet) modify any suspension to carry the increased weight, it just sits a lil lower. Hope this helps! Cor.
