Re: Options for new front leaf springs?

However the front spring hangers appear to be original but I don't know how the later model springs are mounted to them. The original springs and the '79-'91 springs have a completely different spring pin and bushing assembly. Hopefully I am wrong about the spring hanger. What you likely need are 4" lift springs for a '73-'87 K10.
Would taking more photos of the spring hangers in the front and back help determine which to buy? I refuse to drive the thing with front lift blocks.
