Default Re: Leaf spring ratings.

Update, bought a set of eaton 2000lbs springs. I originally had 10 leafs which I believe to be 2750lbs springs. Went back to standard 2000 lbs leafs for 3/4 ton rating. Springs from eaton where nice, seemed well made. I went to install and the second spring from the top hits the shackle it being long. I don't think it is designed that way. Second was one.od the springs was a bit tweaked making it difficult to install. Buttoned everything up and did notice a nicer smoother more controlled ride over bumps. Now maybe it's in my head but truck seems to ride a tad lower then before, was supposed to be stock height. Just can't figure out if it's the fact the new springs are lower or the old heavy duty springs were actually higher then stock. Either way 90 % pleased with purchase. Now I noticed the front springs need to be replaced as well. Will go standard weight. The saga continues on these old awesome trucks. Thanks for listening.
