3/4 to 1/2 ton rear springs
My C-20 has heavy duty 3/4 ton rear springs in it and I don't plan on using this truck as a 3/4 ton any more. The springs give the rear end a pretty rough ride. Can I put springs in it from a 1/2 ton? I'm almost certain I can but I just want to double check. Better safe than sorry, right?

Yes you can, it is a direct swap, you may want to get new bolts and spring cups too, good chance they need repalcing.

Just dont pitch the old springs. There are a few that prefer those springs.
