Just finished installing Eaton 9 leaf rear spring! What a difference in ride and handling. It is like night and day. I used the stock length bolts and it sits perfectly. I also had a set of the 8" bolts on hand in case I needed them to adjust height. If anybody needs a set of 8" bolts or two retainers let me know.
