    Considering Skyjacker leaf springs to replace my non-tsb pack. Needing something with a little better payload. Really wanting to stay 2 inches or smaller on the lift. Any reviews or other suggestions?

    Well I ordered the skyjackers. Hopefully I can give a decent review of them after I get them installed. Trying to figure out what length u bolts I need to get. Anyone have any ideas?

    Good luck. Skyjacker was a known quality lift company in the 80s but today it doesnt hold a reputation for a quality kit. I hope it works out as you want it to.

    So far I like them. They seem to be stiffer than the non-TSB springs. I had one small issue that was my fault. When I installed the springs, the overload shifted a little and let the other leaves rub the "bracket" that holds the leaf springs aligned. I had to install a 2 degree shim to get rid of the drive train vibration that I had after installing the springs and fixed the overload alignment at that time. So far I am completely satisfied with the springs and can't say anything bad about them.

    Skyjacker should be able to tell you if they're thicker than OE where the U-bolts go, or if the spring pack is the same.

    Nevermind, just saw that you installed them already!! haha
