3/4 Ton Rear Springs Differences?
 
Im looking for some rear springs for my 85 GMC K2500 because each set has a broke leaf so needing factory replacements without having to spend a ton for small lift springs or aftermarket ones. I was wondering if anyone would know the length of them and if the 2WD and 4WD ones would be the same possibly? Trying to find out for sure before I go out digging in the local JYs or browsing CL for replacements...that is all:lol:

BTW I know mine is a FIVE leaf pack. Four regular leafs with the fifth being the thicker overload

I was just looking into this as well since mine are old and tired, not broken, but my truck definitely doesn't sit level anymore. From what I can tell General Spring (LINK) sells Made in the USA springs that are affordable and as close to factory as I've found. I really like the options they give.

They are the 56" long leaf packs.
