IMO the 703s are a much better choice - plug and play.

Alrighty, so I got a set of 87-96 Dodge Dakota Leafsprings with 4 in lift for 234 even. already bought it. Should I have an easier time with these new spring than making a bastard pack? I am assuming, at best, I would need to cut the eyes off the top leaf and attach the jeep one. Would that be a good deal?
Thanks again for your advice, and I am glad that I got lucky on this one...

Did the s10 (actually gmc S15) leaf lift. Top of my frowning pack and the whole doner pack with the eyes cut off. Before/after measurements differencr of 5.5" (was frowning a lot) 3.5" lift.
Should add, it appears that the chevy leaves are the same length eye to eye, but the axle pin is off about 1.5-2" to the rear. If you wished to stretch your wheel base or offset drill the spring perch you might be able to just swap completely and forget the top leaf.
