They're all bolt on; long travel is plug n play if you go that route.

Unless you have an instagram account and are looking for clicks. Bolt-on is all the rage.

Oh, and patches, too.

Thank you for that picture.

With a stock leaf pack, you are many years long overdue for a new one.

If you wish to retain factory height, I would suggest you get a leaf pack from general springs. Don't forget to include new u bolts as well.

As for the shocks, just buy a pair of Bilstein 4600's; they're affordable as hell.

I'd also recommend buying new Bilstein 4600's up front as well; look for a place that sells the top hat and other parts necessary. I bet you have stock suspension up front which too, is many years past due.

Disposable shocks don't normally last for more than 50-70k miles, even less if they're the cheap kind, and even less than that if they're used outside the norm.

@Kwikvette I was out of town this weekend but took the wheel off, here are the pics of the rear leaf. i would say front and rear both need new sets since vehicle is at 136k with original suspension
