spring questions

That's called a Berlin eye. Do they have the same bushings? Where is the center bolt in comparison? If there is 3 inches difference then I would be Very careful before I would use them.

I just got off work. Tomorrow I'll get some measurements and compare them again...would the Berlin eye effect anything?

They're a little weaker usually because the second leave doesn't "wrap" the eye in most cases. Where a straight eye the second leaf usually comes under the eye. I used to make wrappers for people that hauled a lot of weight. You should be fine either way

Yours should have come stock with I believe RB117's. Not sure what's in the 440's

That's the bushing?

Leaf not leave and yes RB is the bushing. Standing for rubber bushing. If you do change them out use never seize on all bolts.

Once its done this truck will never tow or haul much besides a quad...really I could use 1/2 ton springs and it not really matter but I have the 440's on hand ya know

How about a picture of these things? Also, do they take the stock sized bolts?

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't work, the shackle flip is going to kick the rear axle forward 1", install the zero rate to move the axle forward 1.5", that's 2.5" forwardof the center line... Then consider the springs are going to move it back 3", and you're close enough nobody will ever notice.
