Thanks Zack I just found them. They were on Ebay for a while. They are $165 shipped. Good deal!

If they are the sanderson ones I'm a little unsure about those. The leaves are welded and I was always told not to weld leaves.

Update

As all of you might not be aware, Zack7.3 offered his shackle kit to me when i said my front end was sagging(on my truck,lol). I kindly accepted his offer and offered to pay or pay for shipping in the least and he wouldn't accept it. PM,ed me today that it was in the mail and on its way. WOW, what can i say about FTE and it,s members, what a great place to belong. Thanks Zack
