Re: Which springs?

A true towing special would have had the big brakes too. More likely someone swapped in the 3/4 springs. Or, it may be a 3/4 that someone replaced the front hubs on. Does it have a 10 bolt rear? That would be a 1/2 ton.
My 87 is a diesel with the heavy brake package, 3,08 10 bolt w/gov-lock and 5 spring rear.
The stiffer springs should lift you up a bit, i'm going to guess 1" minimum. Ride will be noticeably harsher - my light 3/4 rides harsh not firm. Good shocks will help with that a bit.
