I used the spring pack that came with the donor axle. No lift it just leveled my pickup up! the only thing i had to change was the output yoke on the transfer case to match up with the drive shaft from donor axle. Big bad wolfe I didnt have to mess with the rear shaft at all.

Nice! Can I ask where you got the output yoke for the t-case? I'm not having any luck finding one... thanks!
