I have a 66 3/4 ton and I want to slap in some 2" lowered springs in the front end. I want to keep the stock spring incase someone wants to put it back to original. I was looking through some parts venders and they only have springs for 1/2 tons.
My question is... what's the difference in 3/4 and 1/2 ton springs and will 1/2 tons springs work? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | If you aren't hauling anything the 1/2 ton springs will work,,brian | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 336 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 336 | Are they the same diameter with a different load rating?
I will be keeping the the stock rear springs.
I don’t plan on Hauling anything major besides furniture and odds and ends.
Thanks 64Fleetside!
By the way. have you performed this modification on your 64? If so did you run into any major problems? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | no, billy my junk is 1/2 tons, but there is a fella down the road w/a 3/4 ton(65 C20), springs we put on it are 1/2 ton lowering, fit like a glove. he stil hauls "normal" stuff, just not really heavy loads like a camper or full bed of firewood,etc. brian | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 336 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 336 | | | |
