    I have those on my truck, but they will be too big for an OEM setup. You'll be bumping early and losing travel. If your running an LT kit they are perfect cause you can remove the bump spacers, but you have to rethread the holes.

    When I had OEM LCA's I had these: Sway bar bushings that come with new bumpstops for $30.

    Springs are consumables, especially in salty climates and hard driving.
    Replacements are 50 bucks a pair. Call up poly performance or summit racing .
    You've got a 14" spring, 2.5" inside diameter and 550 lb spring rate.

    not sure on age but don't look too old...PO put them on. I called up eibach and they were shocked to hear that this type cracked...they have never had any crack. I'll see if I can get them replaced under warranty but not sure since I wasn't the purchaser. *fingers crossed*
    good reason to replace those and new OME Dakars, 5100 shocks, ss extended brake line, bushings.... all on order!

    Looks like you did a good job! Going to add side supports?

    Is the bumper bent/warped or is it just the camera that is making it look like that?:confused:
