You can read up on my current situation here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/289118-bushing-replacement-disaster.html

but basically, I've discovered that my previous owner was retarded and ghetto rigged the wrong year lift kit onto my 40 by hollowing out some bushing to make them fit and the result = horrendous ride quality. The problem is I didn't discover this until I tore into the old bushings and I've put myself into a position where the car is on jack stands and must do something inorder to take it down.

Long story short, I need to know where to get a good deal on OME leaf springs. Last summer I bought OME shocks on sale and saved a bundle. I've done my research and know these are the ones I want. We get a discount down at Toyota of Dallas but I'm not sure if it applies to non Toyota parts or not.
 
get in contact with Jacque at Toyota of Dallas and he'll hook you up.
 
Thanks, I had to do a little waiting but I was able to get free shipping by getting in on a group order and that saved me like $140. My new Old Man Emu leaf springs are arriving sometime this week. Anything I need to know before changing out the springs? I already have the old ubolts soaking in PB blaster and will hit them with a little bit more every day so hopefully they won't give me too much trouble next week when I have a chance to start changing the springs out. How difficult of a process is it to change out the springs?
