1 ton o4 3/4 ton springs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My needs for this truck have changed, I would like to lower it back to original and convert to one ton running gear so I can haul my camper and tow my wheeling rig......Im sick of borrowing the old mans F250...at any rate, what do we all recommend for original height one ton or 3/4 ton springs? I guess an inch or so of lift wouldnt bother me....

I do have a corp 14 bolt rear and a 8 lug dana 44 all lined up.
(yes I know ill have to move the perches on the 14, been there done that)

If you have rear coils, then you'll only be able to do 3/4 ton springs back there since no one tons came with coils.

gotta read the signature andy

72 LWB c/10 4wd-Hugger Orange - Frame Off Resto, 350, 4"lift, Auburn Limited Slips Both Axles- 4.56 gears- 35's - HEI - Edelbrock Performer Carb and Intake

for hauling i'd go with 3/4 ton, 1 ton would jar your brains out without a load and 1/2 ton is too soft IMO
