I too ran a 7 leaf RUF pack with 1st gen springs and Mazda/Ford rear springs, loved the ride. I started with a 5 leaf and then after it settled I added 2 more leaves. I used doestech shocks and it was super soft and stable. Save the money, chances are you might not like the springs you are thinking of getting and end up making a frankenpack anyway. Paid about $40 total for the front RUF pack.
