Thats really good info, I appreciate it. Anyone know where I might get the correct leaf spring mounts and spring pads? The original mounts are 2 1/2" (u-bolts/axle housing width) and the 8.25's are 3 1/8".. I doubt the parts stores would have them? I assume the older A bodies with bigger than 7 1/4's had this size mounts..
As for the width, the drums are a bit wider on this rear, but I believe deeper wheels will work.
Thanks for your knowledge!
