You have to be careful because the "center section" of the rearend gets close to the burb's floor.
I know www.performanceonline.com sells them.
Not sure who else.
Thank you. I'm liking the replacement springs in the rear over anything else at this point.
I did some digging and saw a small pic of your blue and white two tone. In the post you said:

"3" drop spindles and 2" drop springs up front.
The rear was a set of 4" drop leaf springs."

Anything you would have done different?

At this point I"m thinking 2.5" spindles and 1 cut coil in the front. I have seen this set up on several trucks and I like how it sets the front end. With that front end drop I need to determine how much to lower the rear. The leaf springs are available in 4" and 5" drops. Any suggestions on which one to go with that will have it sitting level?
Plans for rims at this point is a set of van rallies but is subject to change.
