Re: 72 K5 Blazer Leaf Springs
It will fit the axle, just not the blazer.

Re: 72 K5 Blazer Leaf Springs
The distance between the spring eyes on a first gen Blazer (69-72) is shorter than a second gen on up (73+). The second gen spring will be too long for a first gen truck. This is only the case for the front axle.

Re: 72 K5 Blazer Leaf Springs
Does the 72 4x4 truck use the same front spring as the 72K5 blazer ?

Re: 72 K5 Blazer Leaf Springs
Yes, install new spring hangers or move the factory hangers to accomodate the longer springs.
