This was only necessary because I also swapped in an 14 bolt full floater from a 'squarebody' truck. If you are just putting them on your existing axle, you won't have to do any of that.

The biggest obstacle for you will be the rusty bolts. The kit comes with new spring bolts, so save yourself a headache and just cut yours out. A 7" grinder makes pretty short work of them.

Come by an check out those axles. Got tires and wheels you might be interested in too.
