Sorry for the rookie question but I'm trying to gather all the pieces for an 8.75 swap.

Right now I have a housing, center section, 11 inch backing plates, and axles. I need new leaves. Are shock plates what secure the leaves to the housing?
 
It seems pretty simple but I dont want to miss anything as I'm trying to just do that and an engine swap all in one shot. Obviously it wont work out like that but I can look at the old 7.25 and see what I need.
 
Good Luck
You can google "mymopar.com and download a service manual for your car
 
You don't need new leaf springs unless yours are bad and sagging. But you will need the shock plates and U-bolts for 8 3/4.
And then it's just a straight forward install.
 
Mope, just a one legger as I found out while my car was rolling away in park
 
Sorry about that. Unfortunately it's just a plain Jane econoduster that probably got dumped a couple years after being bought
