Leaf spring rear ends don't have the pan hard bar, because they can't move around like a coil spring rear end can. Hope this helps. I had a junk yard tell me once that a leaf spring rear in a 67 thru 72 are the same as 73 and ups. Have never measured them though.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
