As I was looking for new leaf perches I am only finding the modern 2.5" wide variation and not the 1 3/4".
Are there any easy donor leaf packs that bolt in or would require little work? If so, what should I snag while at the junkyard pulling the leaf pack.
Anyone with some Ford 9" experience and possibly some photos to share?
Thanks!

). A 1 3/4 x 4 will let you trim out stock height saddles or you can raise/lower the rear with taller saddles---up to 1.75 x 8. If saddles are on top taller ones raise and visa versa for the bottom.
