Here are a couple of early shots of my full width axel swap. I got the wrong U bolts so I am waiting for them and a friend offered to blast and paint my rims for nothing. The project is at a stand still for a couple of days.

Those look like lift springs. What are they out of? How tall?

I got more parts today so progress shold be made tonight. Yes the springs are lift springs (4" black diamond). They were part of ill fated plans and most likely too much arch but will have to work for now.
