Front Spring Question

My 84 K5 only has 2 leafs in the spring pack. Its a 4wd so 2 springs doesnt sound right to me. Any one know if this is stock or if someone did some messing up under there. Thanks

Re: Front Spring Question

I think the upgrade was to 3 leafs and dual front shocks on each side.

Re: Front Spring Question

You all are correct.

2 leaf was base, 3 leaf was the optional HD springs (RPO F60)

Quad shocks were available separately, freeflow, as RPO Z75.
