I have a set of springs that were on a 72 GMC shortbed frame I got. They are 3 ply+ overload, 2 1/4" wide, 4" lift, 47 1/4" eye to eye. The center pin is offset to the front 1 7/8". Does anyone know if these measurements are wright for a blazer? The springs don`t look like they were realiy used just bolted to that frame and in storage.
Thanks Willis

Blazers and 4x4 should have 2 1/2" springs and not the 2 1/2" that the 2x4's had.
