from the search i did on s-10 bastard packs everyone was usually getting them for around $30-$50 for the pair at a pick and pull. that was alosy like 3-4 yrs ago too from what ive read. the cheapest i found aorund locally is $25-$30 each pick and pull or $50 each for them to pull it. at the most i would have $100 in a set of springs. i know the additional costs of eye bolts and clamps but i have that covered already by using hardware from the aal from a kit.

my torches are too big to fit in my jeep so all i would have it just hand tools to work with in the cold and that wont be fun.

do you think its worth the extra $50 to have them pulled or not?

cheapest set of full leafs i can find is the pro comp 53111 leafs for $104 each shipped to my door.(plus the headache of the possibility's when replacing the leafs with bolt issues)

 

Dude just go cut them off the s10.. U dont need the eyes on em anyway from what I read.

 

His torches are too big he said

 

my torches are too tall to put in the back of my jeep, unless i lay them down and im not doing that. besides i dont want to torch the actual spring because the heat will weaken the spring because of the heat transfer. the plan was to torch the shackles and hangers off. other option i thought of was to pack up my generator and use my sawzall, but i dont think ill be able to cut through the spring, or get a long enough blade to cut the shackles and hangers. then i have to put in the cost of new blades into the cost of the spring as well.

 

Take a grinder and cut the ubolts and cut the springs right before the eye
