    there should be bushings (red) that came with the pack and longer U bolts because stock are too short...you also need new (longer) shocks

    I've heard you should replace the U-Bolts if you replace the springs as they are stretched a little when you torque them

    also if you just bought the springs packs and not a kit or part of a kit then you will need to replace the rear bushings (front should already be in them)

    Can I use the rear bushings from my stock leaf pack?
