3rd gen leaf spring swap

What would I need to swap a third gen Leaf pack on my 2nd gen. I know just the leaf pack and u bolts but anything else?

 

Tools.

But unless the 3G is brand new and your 2G is totally flopped out, I think you'll be getting the same as you had in terms of ride, load, longevity.

That's great for many of us, but not what everyone expects. Or wants.

 

It is always good to get new U-bolts and nuts

 

I think both posts offer great advice. I swapped my Gen 2 leafs for 3rd Gen leafs, but I also took the Hellwig spring off and swapped in Sumo spring blues, which is midway I believe. I used new u-bolts and I swapped the stock shocks out to Bilstein 5100s.

 

I did the swap, but put the 2nd gen overload on the 3rd gen’s 3 leafs. Idk it seemed beefier. The whole thing is kind of contrived but it did do something.
