front leaf question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DarkReaper79 · 08-31-2011, 09:03 PM

While Im not new to 73-87 trucks, last weekend i had two new firsts. I got my first Blazer, and first leaf sprung solid axle vehicle. Its a 1989 Blazer w/ silverado package. I had a Jeep but it used coil springs. Anyways my question is this. Do these come stock with only 2 leafs per side? or you guys and gals think one of the POs removed some for some weird reason?. Just want to know so i can add it to the list if i need to get new ones. Thanks

That sounds right for the stock negative-arch front springs. Congrats on the purchase, show it off!

HD suspension trucks (F60 code on my 76 blazer) got 3 per side but, I parted an 80 3/4 ton that only had 2 per side.

What size tires are those? Do they rub?

They are 33x12.5 on 15" wheels. They dont seem to rub since i been driving it. I dont know if they will if i offroaded it though.
