I put on the Dodge springs. Springs=trade. U-boly kit from Advance=$20. 1/2 inch by 5" grade 8 bolts from Menards. Shackles from Menards. $1.85 each. 5 1/2" hole to hole 1/4 by 2" with 1/2" holes. Stock were 4" because these springs have the eyelette on the bottom instead of top. Gained at least 2". Ride is better but bouncy. Needs shocks yet. I had to space my sway bar down 1". Grinder cut off wheel took care of excess u-bolt threads. Will post pictures.
