4wd to 2wd conversion
I am doing a 4wd to 2wd conversion and I need to know if the rear springs on 73-87 trucks are the same on both models. I know that the shcakle hangers are different but what about the springs?

Re: 4wd to 2wd conversion
I got 56 inches
but I have taken leafs out of mine to lower and soften the ride, but I think they would be longer than 52 inches in stock form...mabey around 53-54"

Re: 4wd to 2wd conversion
That is what I thought, when I wanted to modify the 4wd to wheel it I wanted to swap longer springs in the rear and the 2wd springs on some of the trucks were 56".
