The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - front springs question

**JQ-72** · 07-16-2004, 12:11 AM

I recently got my first 4wd truck so I'm having learning alot about them. My front springs have a slight downward arch to them. Is that normal? I thought they were supposed to have an upward arch or at least be level. The truck is a 72 3/4 ton. Are there supposed to be 3 tapered leafs? Also, if I need new springs, will ones off 73-87 fit? Thanks for any help.
