Last spring thread... hopefully

[bassackwards]

I am trying to ID the rear springs on my Blazer before I order the new front EZ rides.

I see no markings whatsoever on them. They have bolted clamps and each leaf other than the top one has a hole for a nipple on the pad to stick through.

The fronts were obvious Rough Country and all painted up with logos and part numbers but I am not finding anything at all on the rear.

There is a chance that they are stock but I have no way of knowing yet since I have nothing to compare them with. Are there any other clues that I should look for?

Pictures could help us.

Are there blocks underneath them between the springs and axle?

yes

Then likely stock rear springs. As mentioned above, pics will confirm that.

The u bolts and blocks are not stock. I figured that the markings and the way that the pads are attached would be pretty good evidence

showing length pic helps id and massive arch change over stock .

looks like 5 leaf + overload . so if 1/2 ton and 52" eye to eye then these should be it . https://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9652

the web page is just for info not your exact spring brand . but prob real close .

52" long and the arch looks about 6" give or take while sitting on the ground

sounds like the one i posted up . good solid choice for blazer for less saggy butt problems they tend to have .

Hopefully not too stiff. The Rough Country on the front has to go!

Ditched teh Rough Country fronts today! Sold them cheap and while I had them off I measured them.

****All measurements are approximate but close enough for gov't work****
47" eye to eye
6" arch to center of eyes
2" thick pack

Looks like stock have a 1 1/8 arch and a 1 1/2 thick pack. There is over 5.5" right there,
