    This was exactly the case with the spring shortage. I called John R Spring, the supplier, when JCW wasn't shipping. She said that they didn't realize they had such a backorder and she would "get right on it". I called back a week later and they were shipping. I got the springs that next week. (y)

    Well I'm about to order a set since it looks like they're good. I was wondering, before I order, is there anything else I have to get besides the springs themselves, since I'm just replacing my old ones and not trying to raise the rear or anything to modify the stock ride height..for now.:D

    You'll need the rear shackle bushings. You can re-use your old shackles.

    Yeah, and it's not a bad ideal to replace those old U-bolts for the axle mounts...

    Well, you could get them from me, after I buy them and mark up the price (plus shipping).

    I got mine from ESPO, but if you have a local spring shop where you are, they can bend new ones for you while you wait...
