How do '86 k30 front springs differ from the '88 V30's?

Yes I was considering that also. I was just concerned if the leaf spring pack kept getting weaker maybe it would be better to install a leaf spring instead. I do however love the way the my trucks front end rides at the moment and wouldn't want it much stiffer. I see that the front add-a-leaf kits will lift me up to 2". I really don't want that much more lift. I want to keep my height practical since this is more of a driver/tow rig rather than a offroad truck.

I did however install an NV4500 trans using the factory passenger side external slave cylinder so the additional height would give me more front driveline clearance. If I used an ORD zero rate kit I think I would have ample driveline clearance. If I still questioned it I could always just lower my axle bump stops a couple of inches as a safety precaution
