what modifications do you have to do to run the stock rear springs up front? or do they just bolt right up?

you will need some longer shackles....

they wont jsut bolt on, you will need hysteer or some modification to the stock push pull, dropped drag link and a flipped J arm ball...

check out duffil's truck, hes got a flipped ball, lift springs, and stock steering with the aftermarket dropped drag link

I personally wouldn't run them. I had them on my truck for a while and they just didn't hold up very well. IMO, save your money and buy some Marlins.

I totally agree. I ran them on my truck for a while, I tried several different combinations of leafs and never was impressed. They rode good and flexed good, but they would unload and axlewrap terribly on a steep climb. This is mostly caused by the longer length and increased shackle angle, but I won't go into that.

Don't be fooled by all the hype.
