    well the beams, links, 3.4 and valving made him fast. i just said that because his truck is a 5 lug like mine. not too many "race kits" out there for the 5 luggers. since i have busted my lower bj driving in a parking lot, i am a bit more nervous now.

    Ok so I've got nearly enough parts to do my rear LT (springs, bypasses, bushings, beach cruiser)

    Our axle is 3" right? Just gonna get spring plates and u-bolts

    Where can i get that stuff for cheap? I would just make em but I don't feel like burning that many cut-off wheels

    Spring plates like for the ubolts? Not a spring perch for the axle? Here is where I bought my stuff:

    I bought Built Right spring plates for the U-bolts from The Truck Shop in SD. They are pretty much identical to TC ones and are really beefy but only $69

    I got my ubolts from Ruff Stuff. Yes a 3" axle part# UB3 - $54.40 for 4 with washers and nuts

    IF you need the spring perch I also got those from Ruff Stuff - Part# SU-PERCH $38

    I think 5/8 U-bolts from National Spring is the way to go.

    Yours should be super close to that. As it's the Camburg kit w/spindles. Running 35" Duratracs.
