Leaf spring question
I have a swb 82 2wd with 52" leafs. 3 springs and overload. I just bought a 4 leaf and overload pack. Measures like 48" or 50" from eye to eye. Is this going to work? Spring not in truck

Re: Leaf spring question
No it will not work. The main reason is that would put the center pin at 24in or 25in effectively moving your rear end forward 1 or 2in. You need a 52in spring with 26in pin. Also it might be very difficult to reach the shackle during install fully arched.
