Not sure of the rate. They came off of a '73 K10. Never saw the truck. Thats just what the guy said. They were used and the guy powder coated them. Unfortunately, The 2nd smallest leaf has a crack in it which i suspect was there before PC. I will probably look into a set of stock replacement as I can feel the difference from left to right when Im driving. Drivers side is a little softer. Either that or I really did gain 30 lbs over Christmas! LOL
