Tractor Supply Flip Kit

Ive heard of people going to the local tractor supply for parts for a flip kit. I scouted out TS today, and from what I can tell, you can get the spring perches, plates, and u bolts there. Problem is, Ive not seen a thread where someone has said "these are the parts I got, and this is how I did it". Thats kinda what Id like this thread to be, but Im going to need some advice along the way.

Ill keep a tally of parts and cost and take pics when I do the install.

Parts: Spring mounts
Cost: 10.00

First question so far is about the spring mounts. I picked up 5200 lb spring mounts. After measuring them up to whats' on my truck now, they are a little narrow in comparison, but they are thicker. Will that make a difference?
