    I have a 2004 4x4, needing to get the shackles, ubolts, and bolts for the front of the spring
    I have factory springs, and want to maintain factory height

    I just got some leaf springs and looking at the bolts on the truck, im thinking im going to want to have bolts and nuts for mounting them on hand cause mine are rusty enough that they might strip coming apart the ends of the bolts past the nuts on a couple of places on the shackles dont even have threads anymore. might be able to get away with the front bolts, but as they wont cost a lot more, id just as soon go ahead and replace them while im at it.

    So far from what i have found it looks like wheeler seems to have the best prices on the things i need

    they have a stock height shackle kit for $125, bolts for the front as a kit for $20, and u bolts as a kit for $30, all the kits come with everything i need for both sides.

    anyone else have a better place for those items?

    Last I bought shackle kits from the dealer not sure of the price.

    When the statement comes I just write the check.

    If you have a local Spring shop you might want to check their price on ubolts

    I always just cut mine off here in Pa

    What can I say when you spend $10,000.00 plus a year you get a little better price.

    thanks for the offer, but i have already ordered them from wheeler, when i didnt find anything in the sales section of the forum, and no other good alternatives were presented.
