They are rough country. I ordered them from rustys. It seems RC is the only company that makes a 4.5" leaf pack. All companies have their own but they all only sell RC 4.5". So i think no matter where i orde

Add an extra leaf, 1.5" shackle, 2" block, and an anti-wrap. That'll be plenty for 35's.

I'm gonna do both. I'm gonna retain the two factory bolts and then weld it. I'm gonna just bolt it up for now, because when i weld on my arm brackets i wanna be able to pull the member off to weld em on. ... since i'm new to welding, Wanna take every good opportunity i can. but i will weld it to the stiffeners when it's all said and done!
