My '72 Jimmy was built with heavy duty suspension. That meant take the same heave duty springs that are used on a long bed half ton and slap them under this poor little Jimmy. It rode like a 5-ton!! Maybe that explains why it only had 70K plus change miles on it when i got it.

Anyway, I put some standard springs under the back of it this weekend and it no longer is trying to break my neck!!

Any body interested in a complete set of heavy duty coils?? (I've got a set of h.d. fronts to throw in with the h.d. rears.)
