here are some pics of the other associated issues I faced when doing the swap. I decided that as long as I was gonna do it I wud replace the shocks
the shock stud snapped even after soaking with PB Blaster 1000 times so I had to drill out the rivets to get it off the frame....
then use an angle grinder to remove the broken stud...
Go to NAPA and get a new stud (I cant recall the PN, but they have em on the HELP section at Autozone, NAPA and O'Rielly
For the front spring hangers you can get the grade 8 bolts from Menards or Home Depot
almost forgot heres a link for where I ordered the eye bushings
