M1009 stock rear spring pack question

[AJMBLAZER]

Can anyone describe the M1009's rear spring pack to me?

My K5 needs new rear springs and I have found a local who is selling NOS GM rear spring packs for M1009's that he bought surplus. Crazy cheap price.

He THINKS they are 5 leaves + the overload. My current springs are 4 leaf plus the overload. I know they'll bolt on and probably ride about the same height, just looking for confirmation of what he thinks he has.

Hey, before I bought my blazer, I researched the CUCVs real good... About bought a m1009. I know they were rated for more weight than civilian blazers... I think they were 3/4 ton... The trucks are 1 1/4 I think... But I dont know how many leafs that is... Let me know

They're regular "half ton" springs. The military just rated them by actual capacity and not the eons old marketing numbers.

CUCV's were pretty much entirely off the shelf GM parts.
