Re: difference in 3/4 ton rear springs
The 3/4 ton hd springs look nothing like the others. Ihave a orange and white 1/2 ton with regular springs, a 69 3/4 ton pickup bed trailer with standard 3/4 ton springs and finally my 72 orange and white 1/2 ton with 3/4 ton hd springs! There are very few loops on the coil Id say about half of the other springs. The thickness of the steel is almost double. It only has 4 loops. Here is how my truck sits with stock 1/2 ton springs in the front and 3/4 ton hd in the rear with 22575r15 tires: front from ground to center of wheel well 31"
back from ground to center of wheel well 34.5". Or a diferance of 3.5". I wll warn you that this thing rides rough as he!! when empty but fully loaded glides like a cadillac. hope this helps. Aaron |
