Bilstien shock experiment $$

3/4 and one ton springs can both be 56” sorings but the rate would be more on a 1 ton spring and will usually have a couple extra spring leaves to hold more weight. If anything it will be closer to 8 leaves and a lot of half and 3/4 tons will be 5-6 leaves on the rear. Depending on use you could take out a leaf or two and it will settle down some and bring the spring rate down a bit.

That's what I thought too,my springs have 10 leaves. Seems odd to have to take out leaves in custom springs but I will keep that in mind for an option. Thank you

custom built packs like these have more leaves of thinner material to give better flex and ride .

you can NOT compare custom built to oem replacement style .

and 3/4 ton to 1 ton can have the same spring pack or different depending on the way the truck was ordered from the factory .

and just a fyi to you or any other person thinking they have a c/k 30 truck frame . rear shocks on the outside of the frame rail = 1/2 & 3/4 ton . c/k 30 got them on the inside of the frame . had to to clear drw axles on c&c trucks .

this is a processes and glad we are all helping / learning / talking our way to a better end goal .
