I bought mine on eBay. They are made in the USA, have a grease zerk and is an adjustable 1 or 2" drop which I went with the 2". I jacked the truck up and threw jack stands under the rear frame and used a jack to raise and lower the rear end with a buddy watching for the holes to line up and push the bolts through. Your just taking the load off the leafs. Overall it was a 20 min job start to finish. About 50 bucks and rides better than stock. I used no shims and of course I have a rust free truck that eased the process of removing bolts. Best of luck.
