I presume, since the ad says you get back a running truck, that you can stop too. So they must do the brake lines.

I've never cut one, but does it matter if they start out as leaf or coil? Or do the long control arms still work for a shortbed?
The long control arms are the same in a shortbed but the susp crossmember ends up under the cab instead of right behind it.
