Best to cut the upper steel stopper to about 1 inch in length like this...
Concur with 12 inchers and cutting the upper bumpstop short...

Twelve-inch, 125-pound springs gave me stock height. No need to crank torsion bar in front to level. My frame to leafpack distance:

Using 12-inch 125 lb/inch springs: 9.25"

Thnx, Hoss44, Cool. Rides sweet huh?

BTW, Carlspeed, if ou decide to use 14-inchers and need BJ spacers, I;m selling a pair of used (altho they do not really wear out) 4Crawler spacers. Got them from Mark (Chefyota's 87 after he SAS'd), but I do not plan to use them soon. See Pics here
Yours shipped for $50.
