Coil Spring Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would like to replace the rear coil springs on my 71 Longbed. The existing springs are the variable rate style and the SPID shows the HD Rear Spring option. I have looked in several catalogs for new springs but no one list a HD rear spring for 1/2 ton. They only list it for the 3/4 ton. Are the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton HD springs the same? I would like to maintain stock spring height. Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality supplier?
