Rear Heavy Duty Coil Spring Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

harrydunn · 10-01-2014, 12:41 AM

'72 3/4-ton with Heavy Duty rear coils per the SPID (and visual inspection). I found a set of 1/2-ton rear coils from a '72 for next to nothing. I know the ride will be nicer but will it drop the rear at all? I'm not too concerned about the ride quality (it is FIRM but not terrible) but would like to drop the rear. May consider drop springs or blocks but would like to use the 1/2-ton springs if they will drop it at all since I've already got them. It has a serious rake to it and I'd like to level it out a bit!

Thanks.
