Re: leafsprings???

I know where they mount on the rear axle differs between 67-72 and the 73 up years, but how different the actual springs are, that I do not know. I would imagine they are probably a longer spring just from eyeballing. May be wider also.

Hope someone else will chime in with a good answer for you.

Re: leafsprings???

The 67-72 leafs are wider than the 73-87. Only by 1/2 inch or so but they are still wider.

Re: leafsprings???
