Re: Better Shocks and Leaf Springs For my 1972 c20
if the Half ton springs in the rear are too low for you, then use a block to get back up to where you want. And if I remember you were going to remove the overload in your other post? That would lower it almost an inch as well.
On my old '70 C2500 GMC I used 1" lowering shackle to get it down just a little in the back. GVWR on it was max for the platform at 7500#. I've owned (3) other '70 GMC 3/4 tons I have taken apart, and none of them were rated to that level. One was 6200#, one #6600 and one that I have forgotten. All were leaf spring trucks.
