I installed a pair of those springs in my 1989 Dakota (Christine) a few
years ago. Like your sons 92, the leafs were sagging from years of use.

Those springs are awesome. I loaded her up with about 3000'lbs of
concrete rubble in the bed... far over the trucks GVWR heh... I have
the scale slips from the dump to prove it (somewhere) Truck didn't even
look like it was sagging. Get new u-bolts and bolts for the spring eyes
before you chaange em out.

A good friend of mine recently traded in her Wrangler for a 2000
Durango. She saw the light :)
