Default Made in the USA?

Ask them if it's made in the USA and if it utilizes the same gauge steel as original. Napa sells Napa branded USA made Moog components that are really nice. I have no idea what the cost is though.

Also look real close at the "Roller" spring purches. I've seen two versions. One with a bronze bushing and one with sealed bearings. Not a negative post anywhere that I've found. All the posts I've seen people rave at how much difference they make.

That's a good deal, I paid 325 for just the leafs and the install kit. My next major resto is my front end. Then disc brakes, then... It seems to never end. Good luck.[8D]

dont forget about shipping. i bought that kit with the 1" drop on both ends and that brought the price to 824.00 and then the shipping another 147.00. thats to oregon so to cal. it will be in that ball park. and you will still need the center link it dos'nt come with the kit. but even with the shipping from the other side of the country, piecing it out from closer shops will cost you more. i spent 2 weeks looking and pricing before i bought the kit and i was happy with the quality of the parts.

I've used a TON of Laurel Mountain. I put the master kit on my car and was impressed with the quality. Shipping is pricey just because of the weight. I've used them SEVERAL times and am always impressed.
