K10 Pickup Front Springs
I'm still new to the 4x4 owners club. I got a 82 K10 4x4 originally had a 305, previous owner installed a 350 then went to a 454. Truck sits really level but I'm just a littled worried that the 1/2 ton front springs will not last. What are your thoughts or suggestions to help them poor suckers out. Can I stick 3/4 tons front springs under as a direct replacement or is this a chore? Thanks

Re: K10 Pickup Front Springs
You can but it will ride rough, i would go with a slightly lifted spring and the extra 350lbs or so will level it out.

Re: K10 Pickup Front Springs
I'd run it. (IMO) Up north, the dealerships hung plow blades on these all the time and didn't bother with beefing up the front springs. (plows weighed a lot more than a big block and hung off of the front of the truck)
My K-20 has the factory springs in it now and it had a plow on it until this past spring. Springs are a little weak, but after 35+ years with a plow blade, I would be too.
