A few guys had good things to say about .Stengel Brothers.

Here is another site, you need to measure the U-bolt though.

Let's get the measurements for future reference.
A= 9/16
B= 3-1/2" (9.25 rear) , ---> Let's get this measurement for the 8.25 rear, (Same maybe??).
C= 7-1/2"Stock measurement, and then you add to it.
. .....Simply add 1 inch for 1" block, add 2 inch for 2" blocks.

I bought mine on eBay.
Note, if you buy cast iron ones you will need to cut off the stock stud welded to the top of the axle that goes through the leaf springs. I suggest that you take a c clamp and put the around the leafs to keep them together while you unbolt the old leafs.
