73-87 springs

Are the rear springs on the 4x4 and 2x4 the same length?

Re: 73-87 springs

I'm probably off a little somewhere, but in general:

2 or 4wd doesn't matter

All pickups thru the late 70's had 52" springs. Somewhere they went to 56" on 3/4 & 1 tons.

I think Blazers always had 52" springs.

Suburbans usually have 56" springs.


I'm sure someone on the board will have it all down more accurate than I do.
