Why not use 3/4 ton springs?

Last time I was wandering around there, there were several 3/4s in the yard.

Yup, direct swap.
I would do the 3/4 ton springs in the front before messing with car springs.

Springs

I have some new(less than 1000 miles) Variable rate half ton coil springs that are now in my 71 cheyenne. I put them in to be able to haul more weight. It indeed did. It rides terrible without a load and I am going to remove them. They cost $135 new about 1000 miles ago. It also raised the ride height in the back up about 2 inches and I hate that too. I don't know when I will ever have time to get them back out, but if I was offered something sensible, I could get the job done a lot faster!

Are you interested in them?
