Popular rear spring swap

[mostwanted]

I was reading on here about someone swapping some Ford springs into the rear of their k5. I was curious what other popular rear swap options that there are.

 

[71 Blazer]

If you have an older k5 the 88 on up k5 springs are softer and the same size. I put 95 k5 springs in my 71 Blazer and she rides like a caddy.

95 K5? Hmmm....

I put the ford 57" springs under my K5, nice soft ride. Only thing some people do is redrill the springs, or the perch to move the axle 1-1.5" rearward.

57"s eh. Maybe it was you I was refering to. What year and model of a ford do I get those from?

Ford 57's are a little soft! check out my pics and you will see what can happen to soft 57's without a trac bar.
