    FYI....I ordered JC Whittney Leaf Springs Sunday & received a shipping notice Monday. (y) I know for several months they were out of stock. Just thought I would pass this on.:tiphat:

    Yes, they're shipping again - there is another thread on this somewhere. I received mine too, but haven't installed them yet. If you ordered bushings from JCW, don't be surprised if the are the wrong size - I had that problem. :hmmm:

    I got my springs and shackle bushings from Espo Springs and Things. Got the whole thing in 7 days. Also, they have the 3 leaf springs, JCW only has 4 leaf springs.

    I am going to order bushings from Espo Springs and Things. I ordered the shackles and bushings from JCW, but they weren't the right size. I had to send them back.

    Better measure that rear spring eye first.

    My experience has been that they have them shipped directly to the customer from the manufacturer, so I assume that their supplier was out of stock for awhile. It's good to know they they are still available...

    So what kinda prices are we seeing? I am currently going through my azz end, replacing the gears and having my housing powder coated...new leafs sound good since it's all out.

    Details?... W/WO bushings? Are these things rated? Different heights?

    Gene they are 4 Leaf. 130.00 is without rear bushings. The set I bought from them about 6 months ago included front bushings. I am very happy with the previous set that I purchased from them.:yup: They did not change my ride height.

    I think mine are 3 leaf...This is why I am curious about ratings.
    Maybe I need to do a search...
