look how beefy these top plates are and you can move axle w/o zero rate!

no, i broke down prices and $40 for top plates+40 for perches+20 for the lower shock tabs at diy4x=$100, w/o u-bolts

so i went with this kit

http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/14-bolt-simple-swap-p-184.html

from ruff stuff..includes the perchs,top plates, lower shock tabs & u-bolts for $10 more...i knew i couldn't get u-bolts for $10, so i went w/this kit...and ck5 members get discount, so it was like gettin the 5/8'' u-bolts & nuts and 1/4'' washers for free.

i just ordered my shackle flip & 6'' shackles from diy4x...i have to say they both make good parts...was just cheaper to get u-bolt kit from ruff stuff...i didn't realize it allowed you to move axle until i got it, was planning on moving axle a 1'' back, and now i don't need zero-rates, so i saved that money also!
 
I plan on buying the 14-bolt swap from RuffStuff too. That's some beefy stuff! I'm also going to order Kert's shackle flip. I'll be watching to see how this stuff works out for ya.
