Re: What springs have I got?
Dang my brain quit for a minute, but rear springs probably 5 ". For some reason at first I thought they were the front springs

Re: What springs have I got?
Those are front spring and they look like they have been cut. So no telling what they started life as. Has the truck got stock or drop spindles?

Re: What springs have I got?
Thanks PGsigns....I am having an old fart brain day. I guess I have not torn my springs out in a long time.

Re: What springs have I got?
I looked at some old pictures of when I did my 70, and if the loop count is the same, I Cut 1 1/2 coils out of mine which equated to maybe 2 -2.5"

Re: What springs have I got?
Thanks for the replys.
Yes, just fitted dropped spindles and am looking at options to alter the ride height if required. They are "new" springs and have been cut but trying to work out what a 2", 3" or even 5" Spring would be in total length. Thanks. P. ![]() |

Re: What springs have I got?
Well I don't think I would have got a good alignment if I went any more than one coil, that,s on old springs. probably could get one and a half on new springs. Seems to ride stiffer with cut springs also.
