Leaf spring advice from the 73-87 crew
I'm trying to lower the rear of my 1969 C20 longhorn. It has 2-1/2" wide leafs. I tried calling Cpp, ECE, DJM and no one sells anything for it. One guy thought the 73-87 leafs would work. So that's what brought me here. I was wondering are 73-87 leafs 2-1/2" wide? Also, can someone give me the length from eye to eye?
thanks

Measured my 75. 2.5" wide and 56 long. There are two lengths on the 73-87 style, 52" and 56"
Tripped over this website: http://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_...987_s/1823.htm Don't know if things like the mounting eyes are the same. |

Re: Leaf spring advice from the 73-87 crew
Update for Dead Parrot. Yesterday I put the leafs from a 73 chevy in I got from Western Chassis. They fit perfect. Only issue, not even an issue, I got 4" drop leafs, but when I put them on they dropped about 5". I forgot to take in consideration the weight difference. I went out go 1" blocks and lifted it up level. thanks for the measurements. I will post pics later tonight
