Those will work, make sure to get the ripoff bump stop ring for $8 a piece, which is basically just a washer.

Also, if you pay shipping I'll let you borrow my soft jaws for the shaft instead of paying $40 to take off the eyes.

well, the price is not so scary, once Erik informed me that is was per pair and not each. (fancy website says "per each") that just makes them x-springs and not x-$prings

so, I shall give them a try. either going to be bouncing my axle around like richard simmons or have some neat little down pressure helpers + retainers. either way, I will paint them pink, before install

Nah, I had them custom made

They're similar to the Terrafirma steel ones, but with different holes and height.

I think I'll just get some 12" dual rate coil overs and call it a day. It'll make my life a lot easier when doing my axles.
