CUCV springs into my 85 K10
I'm thinking about putting some M1008 CUCV springs into my 85 k10 and heard they are 56" longer but the holes for the shackle mount are already in the frame and I just need to gring the old rivots off and move it back and install with grade 8 nuts and bolts, true or not true?
If anyone was wondering the M1008 has a 1-ton payload rating so that would mean my K10 would then have the 8-leaf spring pack in it.

so are they 56" springs instead of 52"? Did you have to move the hanger back and were the holes already in the frame? The ones this guy has are out of a Military blazer, he said their 8 but maybe their 8+overload and the front springs are 3 leaf instead of 2.
