Truck is an 87 GMC V2500. Tires are 235/85/16's in both pics.

The front had 2 leaf and the rear had 8 leaf rated at 2450 lbs. I replaced the front with 3 leafs rated for 1400 lbs and rears with HD 8 leafs rated at 2600 lbs from General Spring.

I have never driven in an old truck with soft springs so I cannot compare the ride but I use it to tow and haul and don't care so much about the ride.

I don't know if it sits higher than stock since my stock springs were worn but I like how it sits now.

Stand by for pics.
