CS-CE21034 Models (133-inch WB) 8.5-ft beds, i.e., Longhorns, were not available with Leaf Springs, per the Truck Data Book that dealers used. They had 2000-lb rate rear coils. There were also the 500-lb cap'y auxillary springs that could be ordered.

My SWB Fleetside was ordered new with the 2000-lb cap'y rear coils. I can testify that it rode like a rock, when the bed was empty. But, it was ordered to tow a trailer, which it did, and does, very well....but with "normal" cap'y springs now.
