Despite what it showed for me at the top of the product page, this did in fact "fit" my Astro. This is a more or less universal kit that is going to fit many/most smaller leaf spring packs. I work at a shop so I had all the tools to do the job but lacked the experience of ever working on leaf springs. It took me a few hours to complete the job. The only possible issue I'm noticing so far is the original clamshell doesn't really want to fit back over despite having plenty thread to do, will likely go back over this later and try to readjust.Rating this four stars instead of five because the center bolt nuts were separate from the bolts it came with and got lost in the packing material, was convinced they never existed until after I started to throw away the box/packing that I saw them fall to the ground. Not only this, but the supplied center bolts were A: unusually fine thread, despite having a large supply of spare nuts through my job none of them would fit.and B: the head of the bolts are round so you can't hold the top with a hex socket to assist in tightening the reassembled leaf pack. I wound up using a couple of spare bolts I had around instead.Secondly, I don't like that the supplied springs didn't come with any sort of shims/bushings to place in-between it when reassembling the pack. Seeing as how my original pack has them between all the leaves tells me they probably should be there.Be advised, your ride will be a lot stiffer without much load. Going to have to do a little research on how much difference softer struts will affect the spring pack stiffness because I'm currently on coil-over shocks in the rear which is probably overkill now with the add-a-leaf installed.

Added these to a 2001 Sonoma. They fit very well. Instructions were spot on. I used a c-clamp to hold the spring pack together to install the new bolt. Ride height went up the advertised. 1.5-2".

The product works fine. It didn't come with shims or retaining clips so i had to source those myself. Not much of a 'kit' without all the parts necessary to install it.

Thoroughly impressed. These where pretty simple to install. Took about 30 minutes per side. Initially, the back end of the truck was lifted about 4 inches. Like other reviews, it settled down to about 2 or so inches of lift. I purchased these because I tow a small trailer for work and it was causing the back end of the truck to sag excessively. After install, the suspension handles the extra weight of the trailer no problem. I'd recommend these to anyone.*Review update.This product worked so well for Chevy s10 #1 that I purchased a second set for s10 #2.Definitely recommend to anyone with a sagging suspension.

Installed in an hour, instantly lifted the rear about 4 inches, then settled down nicely to about ~2+ inches after a few days. Highly recommend putting 100-200 pounds in the rear corners of the vehicle for speedy settling and more even wear in, but you'll be fine if you don't. The truck is slightly stiffer now, as it seems the shocks don't work as hard to bounce back with the extra spring back there. Great buy. Easy lift and nothing superfluous.

High quality item, zero surprises. Added 21/4" height to the rear of my Ranger. I haven't rechecked the height, but I suspect maybe lost a 1/4" due to the suspension settling, totally expected.New center bolts were supplied, even though there is nothing in the advertising saying they are included. You do need to supply your own spring clamps though. No big deal. Completely happy with purchase.

Good leafs to add. Have held up for a couple years now with no issues. Were fairly easy to install. Just beware you will most likely need to buy new U bolts to go around the axle.
