IUm getting ready to bolt up the newly shaved 14FF to my J10. I know the old Ubolts will not be wide enough, so won't I need a wider plate for the top of the springs too? Im thinking that I won't be able to use the exsisting ones. And which ones and where can I get some for finishing up this projest? Thanks, Dennis
Just go to a junkyard, find a decent 3/4-1 ton Chevy Van, 2wd truck, etc., and get the plates and u-bolts off there. Older Chevy 1-ton trucks had round 5/8" U-bolts and something like 1/4" thick spring plates, very beef. It will cost like $5 total.
