K20 rear leaf question... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i ordered new leafs for my truck and when they came in, they didn't fit... come to find out the ones that i have are 3" wide, new ones are 2.5"; and my leafs are 58" in overall length, the new ones are also shorter. called everywhere and they told me the ones that i bought are made for my truck; how did my truck come with these larger springs?? the spring perches are in the original place with rivets in them, and there are no other holes in front or behind them, so they're not remounted. anyone else have this problem??

a local shop is making some leafs for me now, but no one knows why i have these heavier springs on my truck.
