Doing a W/C spring swap
Hello all,
I've found a local guy who has w/c springs for sale. I was originally planning to do the V/Mod B swap but this is easy because they are already off and he is asking $200 for the set.
I've done a good bit of research and what I basically need to know/confirm is the following:
1. Can I use the Monroe Reflex shocks that the PO installed 8 months ago?
2. What should I do with the C springs in the rear? Should I add a tapered block? Add a leaf from the stock X? etc.
Thanks guys! The closest threads I've been able to research is the X/C swaps on the diesel forums.

I would try it myself but it looks pretty daunting to be honest. I guess it would help if i had a garage
