Re: leaf spring question
Rear springs will bolt in if they are still 52's. Front axle will bolt in. Front springs won't work and rear axle won't bolt in. Spring centers are different and shock mounts are staggered in rear. Front springs on the '73 are longer.

I am in the market for a custom built set of leaf springs. I've located Alcans, Deavers and ORD as custom builders for my 1972 Blazer. Anyone with any experience with any of these 3? Thanks. Posted via Mobile Device |
