So, I have already recieved but not installed my Rancho rs5000's. So I was calling around today....(ok ok so a 5 state radius is more than just calling but found the perfect set)....looking for new leaf springs since mine just sagged and well after 263k they are toast.... every where I called was like.....$100-150 for the pair and all had 50K+ on them....

So finally I call a place in CT (6 hours away) and guess what? They have em....for $120.... but guess what else.... ONLY 13K on them :eek: WOOT

So, you ask will I really drive 6 hours for them.....NO...my GF's Grandma lives up there and is coming down next Weds.......life couldnt get any better than it is right now.....

So, I am hoping that either the 8th or the 9th will be Suspension install day :)

Quick question...... should I pickup new U bolts for the Leafs?....also, what about the bolts on the ends of the springs should I replace them if so what do I get?

PS - this weekend is start to install the system in the car......speakers, HU, CD changer and wires.....of course....I dont have the amp rack ready yet or the layout figured out yet either.....but oh well....thats what makes it fun :)
 






great!

You'll only need to replace bolts if you have to cut them off or the threads are toast.
