Gotta 71C20 is right. you will own stock in hdwr. store when done. it is not complicated, esp. with bed off both trucks. take whole assy from donor & set in place using trailing arms as locating points. leave bushing thru bolts loose. move back from there. if going this route I highly suggest air bags & engineer shock mounts differently so they are almost straight up & down. when these things are lowered the shocks become useless due to the low angle. put them behind axle mounting to U-bolt plate. makes for a much better ride.
