coil spring question
would front coil springs for a 2wd 1 ton truck fit in the front of a 2wd 3/4 ton truck? They look like they will fit, so I'm guessing the ride will be a just a little stiffer.

Re: coil spring question
I have some new ones also, but does the 1 ton springs lift the front end up higher than stock? Does anyone make 1 ton rear coil springs for these trucks?

Re: coil spring question
I dont know about the back springs but on the front you need to cross reference the part numbers with 3/4 ton springs where your buying them from. When I was looking for one ton springs I found that a lot of places had the same part # for both 3/4 and 1 ton. If you find the true one tons yes it will sit higher because they wont compress as much with the weight on them.

Re: coil spring question

There is no such thing as one ton coils. All C/30 trucks had leafs in the back |
