    I have "stock length" 5125 Billy's and I don't wheel hard but sometimes load the bed heavy. Will this be okay or will I run into trouble.

    I haven't read anywhere, but have these sold yet and are they a direct bolt on to a 2004 Prerunner DC?

    But in the original post, he said he doesn't dab in the 1st gen market too often. Plus, I'm sure they're more expensive if they're made to order. I'll PM 4WD and see what's up. I had to sell the Dakar's I had sitting around. I needed the money more than the springs, at the time. Now I'm just looking for a really good set...and EVERYONE is pointing me in 4WD's direction. I went to the junkyard this past weekend and measured some Chevy springs out. Nice positive arches. I'd rather have someone do it for me since I really don't have too much time or know-how.

    Hi guys, a local member (it was a pending sale) bought the 1st gens. last night, but I should be able to have another bolt on set or 2 by next week,

    which brings this to light, all my complete sets are direct bolt on apps.

    & PM's inbound...

    Well i would but.....

    To anyone who's interested but hesitant, Doug and I got together and made some magic for my truck, haven't measured how much lift yet, but it's a firm yet plush ride, it soaks up the bumps and keeps flat through the corners.
    In short, I'm very happy with my springs so far (i just got them in today), feel free to send me any questions you might have for me.

    I know you said direct bolt on, but would I need longer u-bolts? Preferably new bushings as well?

    I reused my bushings, the looked to be in good shape so I decided to not spend the money.
    I believe the Ubolts I used were the same lenght as stock, and they had a good bit of thread left on both sides
    I believe the term you're looking for is core.
