    yessir...but you'll need a new front shaft if you go up to 8"...and make sure you get the steering bracket with the springs (i'm having a brain fart...think it goes on pitman arm)

    They should. Just measure em first. They should be 48'' springs.

    I also have one of the adjustable drag links and pitman arms that you would need. Is new, maybe 5 runs on the combo. Got off of a buddy.

    Let me know.

    i just emailed the guy. wel heres the deal. as soon as i do the shift kit on my truck im goin to put it on hold. cause everything else i wanna do will cost bookoo bucks. so me and my girl and her dad have decided to build a true blue mud truck. id like a 80s half ton with one ton running gear. so i'm collecting just cheap parts as i go like lift springs, motor, trans, t case. just stuff guys are wanting to get rid of. get out of the way. i already scored some weld racing 8 lug wheels for FREE. just need some TLC.
