What do i look for?

[Citizen Rider]

What models and years do i look for to find 56" rear springs?

I just pulled the rear springs out of a 77 burban parts vehicle and figured they where 56's. Turned out being 52's.

So i am on a 2 day search for 56's and dont need to spend money on 52's thinking they are 56's.

TIA

I think any 3/4 or 1 ton. Each truck varies on how many leaves there are, spring rate, how much they sag, etc. Bring your tape measure and have at it.

Ask Leper, i'm pretty sure he knows.

1/2 tons wont have them. but 3/4 and 1 tons will. could be that 3/4 tons are mixed. but i know that mine came from a 3/4 ton 2wd burb.

Many 3/4 tons trucks will still have 52" springs. I've parted a couple dozen of them, and still haven't had a set of 56" springs.

From what I've read, there are some 1/2 tons with 56" but it's erally rare, and yet there's some 3/4 and 1 tons with 52". Your best bet is the good ole measuring tape!
