Re: A different 72 K10 spring question.
Either should work fine an be correct. There was a heavy front spring option which is what I would guess the 1100 lber is.

Re: A different 72 K10 spring question.
X2, there was a standard spring and a heavy duty option. Both should be correct and both should be negative arch.

Re: A different 72 K10 spring question.
Since I'm in the KC area, I will be buying from these guys. I plan on getting one spring next week so I can finish up the driver side before tackling the passenger side.
https://www.generalspringkc.com/1967...pacity-3-leaf/ I also see that LMC carries both options as well. Aaron

Re: A different 72 K10 spring question.
I second general spring. I bought a set of rear springs from them for my k10 last year. I've never seen so many springs in one building.

Re: A different 72 K10 spring question.
Another question along the same line. I currently have a raised steering arm. I don't have the original one but I have one that came off a later model truck. I think it was a late 80's blazer. I compared it to my brothers 72 blazer with the stock steering arm and it looks the same but its kind of hard to tell because the one on my brothers blazer is still on the truck. Does anyone know if it is the same? It would be just my luck that it was just a little different and threw everything off. Thanks again.

Re: A different 72 K10 spring question.
I went ahead and ordered the front springs from General springs. After looking at the rear springs closer I think I'm going to replace them too. My stock springs have 5 leaves. I dont see a 5 leaf offered. They have a 5/1 which I guess is a 5 leaf with a straight helper on it with a rating of 2350 lbs. What do you guys think? Thanks.
