trailing arms
Are the 3/4 ton & 1/2 ton trailing arms the same?

Re: trailing arms
The 3/4 ton arms have a plate welded to them for strength, but other than that they are the same.

Re: trailing arms
LWB and SWB are the same. As for 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton...I think....the 3/4 ton trailing arms are reinforced more then the 1/2 ton trailing arms. It's early yet, I'm sure someone will chime in on this.

Re: trailing arms
All trailing arms are the same, (blazer{2wdof course}, truck, 1/2, 3/4 and subs) clear back into 60's. I pulled a set off of a 64,5,6 ish looking 3/4 ton truck and they are the same with the exception of the reinforcement plates. Now keep it quiet, it's our little secret as the plates make the flimsy trailing arms pretty rigid and I can pull em for $20-30 a set around here as they are just big truck parts!!
