14 bolt spring plates

[73K5Kid]

I should be getting a free pair of spring plates for my 14 bolt swap. A fellow member offered me a pair that is mixed in with a bunch of 1/2 ton plates. I have never compared the plates. Is there a way to tell the difference I assuming the 14 bolt plates would be bigger. If not how will I know the difference

yes the 14 bolt plates are bigger. might be kinda hard to tell if they are mixed with a bunch of others but if you compare them all together then you should be able to tell the difference. I know the bolt holes are spaced farther apart and I think they are made from thicker metal. I also think that most of the 14 bolt spring plates bolt under the axle instead of on top like the half tons so they will be easily distinguished. got lucky on mine and they came on top of the springs.
