Re: The more I learn...the more puzzled I become!

Woody, I was under mine today changing the oil and happened to glance back at the rear springs. Mine is a C20, but the rear coil springs look exactly like yours....and mine also rides like a covered wagon. I'm assuming we both have failed springs, but I thought it interesting that both failed in the same way, at the same coils. One more thing to add to the list....

That's why I'm not sure how to order new springs...are C/10 and C/20 rear springs different? And as my C/10 is a 9 passenger, it came from the factory with 3/4 ton front suspension (control arms, ball joints, springs, etc...) so is there a difference with the rear springs because it's rated with higher weight loads?
