Ok I know that this ha to been asked a thousand times but Im still a little confused.

From what I understand from reading you measure along the arc of the spring. So I took a flexible tape measure and measured from the center of the eyelet along the face fo the base spring to the center pin. Then from the center pin to the other eyelet. I came up with 63" on the springs so I think I did it right but :dunno:
 
uh, if they are the 63" newer rear springs, then yes. Though it would be kinda hard to mix up 47,52, and 56" springs with 63s.
 
measuring the main leaf total length will not work correctly on arched springs. as the more arch the longer the leaf .

the true correct way to do it is eye to eye across and get the ball park length and match it up to what is close if thay are arched lift springs.
 
Ok the arch is what had me concerned. I will remeasure across the eyelets then

Ok just remeasured them and they are 56" across or there abouts. That makes more sense. Thanks guys
