Looks great. How much it cost to get the pair of springs? The ones I got seems to be sagging too much after 20+ yrs.

Jabberbox, your rig sits really nice. I put new leaf springs on earlier this year to raise back several inches, I kept MorRyde as well though. Huge improvement in ride, rattling is significantly reduced as well. Worth every penny.

If I remember correctly, the springs should work with or without MorRyde, since the axle goes on the middle, and one end of the springs will go onto the frame. The difference btw MorRyde and with it removed is that the former connect the other end of the spring to the frame, while the latter connect the spring directly to the frame (well, there is a connector there on the OEM cutaway that they removed when install the MorRyde that you need to put back on), without the rubber and the extra metal parts.

Greater arch of new springs required that I had to have new rear brackets fabricated, I could not just use original, if you have stock leaf springs morRyde brackets should still work.
