I called JCWhitney's tech line and asked about the eye bushing and the new spring come with it installed. All of the other hardware is already on the car and by the length of my stock U bolts I don't think I'll even need to repalce them. They stick out passed the bolts almost 1 1/2". As far as the ass in the air goes I think everyone is over that stupidity.
: Get your FREE catalog at www.JCWhitneyUSA.com. Mine arrived in 3 days. Their phone# is: (312)-431-6102. The part number for the 4-leaf H.D. springs is: 97NL7891RF. The stock 3-leaf will give a softer ride BUT will eventually sag again so go with the 4-leaf (one dollar more). The part # for the shackles is: 15NL0053B. These come with bushings & bolts. You will STILL need front "spring eye" bushings and related hardware (U-bolts, nuts, etc.). The car should sit level or maybe SLIGHTLY higher. You really don't want the ass-end jacked up high but I'm not gonna start another war... : )

: : Right.... By SPRING DAMMNIT!!! I will be doing the new spring thing... TL said they were running about $110 for the two sets plus another $18 for the shackles or so? Well then, even if I have to eat RAMEN for a month I'm gonna get em!!!!
: : I need the specs... I know you said four leaf but in order not to sound like the compleat ignoramous (and to save myself from the heartbreak of sending 'em back) I need to know, a) what to ask for directly b)how the hell to get a hold of them!!
: : Just curious... how much lift can I expect from this? I NEED to do SOMETHING that's visible on the outside.... :)
