Coil springs question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1970 c10 just finished restoration and on the road.

The glove box spid shows it has heavy duty springs.
The stance is 2" higher in the back now.
I'd like to level the stance and possibly remove the heavy duty coils to a standard coil springs to improve the ride a bit. It's not too bad now but could be better.
I did convert it from a long bed to a short bed. Not sure if it comes into play or not. Where short and long bed springs different due to weight being less?
Thanks
