Default Anyone have a 3/4 or 1 ton Chevy?

I need to know the lengths of the leaf springs from shackle to shackle. Wanna see if I can't beef up my 1/2 ton suspension

It's mostly a bolt on swap for a Chevy. Think u need to trim down the the pin that locates the axle if I remember right. Other than that the lengths for the springs are the same just more leaves

I'd also grab the 14 bolt out of the donor truck u get the springs from too but the u have the issue of lug patterns a brake clearance unless u find a light duty 14bolt from the heavy half or light duty 3/4 ton

Well actually there's already a 14 bolt with a 6 lug pattern under the truck.. Just checked to be sure. Dont understand why they left the 1/2 ton springs though
