Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 10 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 10 | My 71 C-20 has a huge-by-large single leaf spring that is attached to the frame not far from the rear bumper. It arches down and stops inches above a pad on the lower main control arm.
My truck was ordered with heavy duty springs and sway bars. Is this part of that package? Or is it an aftermarket item?
Further, does anyone know the difference in actual weight rating for the heavy duty spring package? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | Brian - don't know about ratings, but that funny half leaf is the factory overload or helper spring, not aftermarket - think it was standard on the 3/4T, as everyone I've seen has had it
