I actually called a spring maker and he told me the springs are identical for the blazers and a 3/4 ton truck. Apparently because of the fiberglass top they used a stiffer spring in the rear than the 1/2 ton trucks. I believe they used a couple less springs, but those are easy enough to remove. While it will ride like a lumber wagon with more springs, I'll eventually go to new custom springs so the ride will improve. This is probably going to be one of those builds that goes in stages, as I can afford it. But when I am using this thing, it's going to be packed with camping gear, coolers, and hunting gear. So the extra spring may not be a bad thing for my purposes.
