Re: 97 Front Spring Conversion to SD???
CaryT will be along in a moment to reccomend the RSK and SD springs if you have a dana 60. If not, he'll also reccomend that you do the D60 first.
Most folks use the OEM black rubber bushings as the polys seem to squeek and give a slightly harsher ride.
The SD springs are longer than the OBS springs, and the axle pad is not centered on the leaf. The front hanger has to be moved to keep axle position correct, so you might as well cut the rear hanger off and do the RSK.
I believe that someone did use the SD springs, hangers, and shackles instead of the usuall RSK, but I don't remember their name. CaryT will know, or it will be in one of his previous messages.
