yeah, thats what I thought, not needed for what you will be usingthe truck for. as a side note, if the spring pins and bushings are worn out, and considering the springs are pretty old and may fail when getting used again, there are builds on here that use spring hangers and springs from newer trucks that have rubber bushings in the spring eyelets. new frame brackets are available from Dormer and springs can be had at any local parts supplier. since the rear axle will likely be geared pretty low lots of builds replace the whole set up. will you be going with a lowered truck and air bags, leaf springs, coils, any plans?
