Leaf spring question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**nsiti** · 11-29-2025, 04:22 PM

Hi all,

I am in the process of restoring my 1972 Chevy Suburban 3/4 ton 4x4.

I ordered a full suspension set, with 5" lift including rear shackle flip, from ORD and it seems they miscalculated in the design of the rear leaf springs (the front are fine).

When I ordered the springs I was not asked for the weight of the vehicle, which is stock, except for the 40 gallon fuel tank. Now I am being asked for the weight and thought I would get some advice from you as to how to respond. Any assistance would be appreciated.

You can view my build on this site at: https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...=839107&page=4

See post 79 and 83 for some pictures of the springs.

Thanks in advance,
Nick
