Just wondering what's involved with chucking the diff's under my leaf springs.
is it a straight reverse or do i need new u bolts and shackles?
I'm a tight ass and can't afford to lift my truck properly at the moment, so i thought this would be the cheapest option.

Give us you opinions? cheers, Cozza

Firstly it is called a SPOA or spring over Axle. I'm no pedant, just might help your searching...

Secondly, it is the most expensive lift option.

If you want a cheap lift, get a 2 inch body lift, just_cruizin (i think) sells them on here.

From cheapest to most expensive -

Virtual lift (cut guards to make them clear larger tyres)
body lift
Spring lift ( probably upwards of $600 done right)
SPOA

Cheap now = expensive later. Do it once, do it right. If you can't afford to do anything now, then don't. Get yourself a set of 2nd hand mud tyres and have fun.

Drugs are bad, mmmkay.
