Not saying you didn't know this but, never re-use old u-bolts. The u-bolts and threads stretch and fatigue and should not be re-used. One time use part.

The spring plates are $30 new for the pair and the U-bolts are $19 for all 4 with nuts from LMC, you can re-use your U-bolt spacer.

You can probably get them cheaper and no shipping from the dealership.

There will be no seeing tham haha I'm from Iowa so prob will end up cutting them off. But the axel tubes are the same diameter on the 10b and 14b correct?

id see if you can match up trucks as best as you can. i dont know if trans lengths are different, i want to say they arent but could be wrong. anyways if you find a sf 14 bolt get the driveshaft with it maybe so you dont need to shorten or lengthen yours, or have the yard hold it if it had one so if needed you could come back later.
