full suspension rebuild

I'm not sure what you mean about not seeing leaf spring pads...??? Are you saying they are not there? Can you maybe post a pic so I can better understand? You must have them!

For the rebuild, are you going to piece together a kit say from RockAuto? Or getting a kit from PST or Just Suspension? I would suggest you get your sway bars from Hellwig...They have very nice sway bars and top notch customer service!
