    It does state that it is for vehicles with a 3.5 " lift so on a 5-lug it'll probably give about 2 1/4-2 1/2'" of lift over stock. You would also have to flip the center pin over to work with the 5-lug SOA setup and the u bolts won't work so since they are made for a SUA axle setup so you will need to get different ones to handle the extra thickness of the leaf pack. Aside from all that, yes they will fit.

    Not sure how long they would need to be, I'm a lowered guy so I've never needed to know how long the stock u-bolts are. At a guess I'd say 1 1/2" longer than normal. Looks like it has 7 leaves compared to the usual 3, so you could just measure how much space the regular leaf pack takes up and add that amount plus a bit to the overall length and that should cover it.

    Those wont fit our 5 lugs easily. When looking for our stuff it usually will say none pre-runner 2wd.
