I think they would be for the rear to go onto the leaf pack it looks like.

They're universal, you shouldn't have any problems making the fit.

Wow. I have not seen these since back in the early to mid 70's when I was hot rodding early Mustangs! They work! Never used them on a truck, but they would keep the back end of a pony from hopping around when you hit WOT with about 450 hp!

Those are designed for the spring-under-axle folks. Considering that our trucks have lift blocks, and the spring is above the axle, no, those won't work for us.

thoes wont work for the rams....if ya got acess to the tools, you can build some custom ones very easy, just need 4 himes or bushings and build ya a couple mounts... for the axle, i built a plate to bolt to the bottom of the axle u-bolts and made my bar mount there, and for the frame i just made some simple weld on brackets, but with a bit more time, some bolt on brackets could be made very easy, cost me about $50 in parts, and about 3hrs time for mine
