Rare bracket? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After disassembly and PAINT, It seems as if I have an extra bracket with a bump STOP in IT. Any idea if I NEED these for my drop?...or if anyone might need OR want them? They go on top of trailing arm.

They were for the overload springs.

Now I see. I took off the parts that mount to the frame not knowing what they were for. Spring was missing.

I'll take all the brackets and will pay shipping!

Not trying to hack this thread but I have this same setup un a frame. Is this a rare option and worth collecting.

I don't think it's "rare" but fairly uncommon. They also were very effective. The ride stays factory until you add enough load then the extra spring helps out.

I had it on my '72 truck. Sold the truck and bought a 2WD Suburban and sought out a factory overload setup to install.

I ended up buying a 4WD and selling the 2WD before it got installed.

I will take them if jjzeplin passes.
