Default Old man emu leaf question

I just ordered the medium load Old Man Emu springs with the 2" lift from Quadratec and I forgot to ask them a simple question, will those fit on the factory leaf spring perches that are already on there? The ones I have are still good to go, no warping or other deformities. I just need to confirm that the new springs will fit on there. Anyone? Thanks for the info!

they fit, just make sure you have some good bushings on hand as they don't come with them

also, expect to actually get 3-3.5" of lift from them... I got the same springs and i'm 3" above factory in the rear. i've been waiting for them to settle... but the actual manufacturers of the springs pre-sag them so yeah. they say 2", but you may get a bit more.

They fit. I had to grease the leafs though because they squeaked a bit.

X2 on the 3 inches of lift.

I got the poly standard grommit kit from Quadratek. In black. Fit in easy.

The hardest part remains... as always... the removal of the old stuff.

Good luck.
Have fun.
