I have a 3/4 ton 75 model truck that is going to be a half ton truck and static dropped no matter how much it wants to fight me. I have the 1/2 ton rear and bought a set of 3" spring perches to weld to it to flip the axle over the springs...also bought a c notch kit. I was planning on using the 3/4 ton springs (it has 8 leaves and one overload per side) and removing the overloads and at least 4 of the leaves, but after getting it a part, I notice that the 3/4 ton springs have much less arch to them than 1/2 ton springs. If I were to use these springs, the rear axle would almost contact the the frame with the c notch installed, there is no way it would even go in without the c notch installed. I guess my real question is, will 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive springs fight the 3/4 ton spring mounts? Also, was wondering if anyone knows the amount arch the different model trucks have...ie 4x4 vs 2 wheel drive, balzer, suburban, short or long bed? I don't know how they specify the amount or arch a spring has, I guess you could take a straight line between the eyelets and measure down to the top of the spring where the locator pin is....ok, ok, I am kind of rambling on, just trying to figure out what I need to get a hold of to make this half ton flip work. Any and all comments and suggestions are appreciated...thanks all!
