PEAK PUTTERS

Looking for some stock rear leaf springs for my '85 K10. Mine are pretty shot. They measure about 51.5" eye to eye, but I can modify just about anything to fit. Looks like late-80's Suburban springs are close enough and would only require relocation of the rear spring mounts, so those are actually the preferred option.

Let me know what you have!

There are 2 lengths of gm rear springs in that era. 52 and 56" so beware of that in your search. All the springs are basically the same but higher gvw have more leaves.

That seems to be what I am finding. It also appears that the 56" ones are the same length from the front eye to the axle locating bolt, but the rear of the spring is where the 4" difference is. I plan to flip the shackle in the rear, so I am thinking the 56" ones would be a decent option, and a better ride.

That's it the front lengths are the same the rear hanger was moved back 4". If you look on the frames most are drilled already for either placement.
