what i was reading is that the 1 tons MAY have a 1.75 spring eye instead of the 1.50 spring eye of the 1/2 tons. I am not sure if this makes a difference but I do know that they list TWO different rear shackles on rockauto. And they only say one is heavy duty one isnt. I'm not sure. I will pull whats left of my broken shackle and try and match it up I guess.
