WTB add-a-leafs for 72 Jimmy
I am looking for a good set of add-a-leafs for the rear of my 72 jimmy. The top is causing the rear to sag. Thanks

Are truck and jimmy leafs different?
There is a stack of 10 leafs on a 72 leaf pickup chassis i have and I dont plan on using them all. I'm not ready to remove them yet but if your in no hurry and these will fit I can help you out. These are a standard spring pack and not overloads. |
LT, I used the stock leaf springs from a 72 3/4 4x4 under my Blazer. They fit perfect and give the Blazer a good stance. I have been very happy with the results. Good Luck

do the the 3/4 ton springs fit with no modification?

Hey Denny,
Is that chassis a 3/4 ton? I've got the stock springs now. LT |
LT,
The chassis was a conversion. It has a 12 bolt corp. rear so I would guess its has half ton springs. What I was thinking was that you could add some springs to your spring pack. Are the 3/4 & 1/2 ton springs the same width? |
LT, 72 3/4 4x4 springs are a perfect fit, no mods - no hassels. If I rememder correctly 2wd springs are longer from bushing center to bushing center. I think Blazers and Jimmys sat a little low in the back from day one and now that the springs are 32 years old and fatigued they sit a lot lower. If you can find a set of 72 3/4 4x4 springs in decent shape I'm sure you'll be happy. I'll post a picture when I have time tomorrow. Good Luck, Robert

Here are the pics, the one that sets the highest in back is the one w/ 3/4 4x4 springs, the Bronze Blazer has stock springs but was used to tow with, and the Blue CST has stock springs on it but never had a hitch to tow with. Sorry about the quality of pics but I was short on time and I'm still new at this. Good Luck, Robert

thanks, I will look around the local salvage yards for a set of 3/4 springs. I think that stance looks good. again thanks for the pics.
