Turns out that the PO removed three leafs from the rear springs on my 56 1/2 Ton Pickup. I need my ride height back! Guess I need to find another set of rear springs. If I buy new, could I put 3/4T springs on just as well? And if so, what will I give up in ride quality? Recommendations?

3/4 ton springs will swap, the base 8 leaf 3/4 ton spring is identical to the heavy duty 1/2 ton option. The question is why would you need 3/4 ton springs? You will lose the ride quality, and it will be worsened on a short wheelbase truck.
