Post Heavy Half vs 3/4ton Balljoints

What are the difference in size on Heavy Half and 3/4 ton ball joints? or are heavy half's the same size as regular half ton balljoints?

heavy half is not a 3/4 ton, a heavy half is basically a 1/2 with 3/4 springs, the a arms and spindles are stil 1/2.
3/4 bal joints use a differnet arm than a 1/2, the joints will not swap.

So, are you saying the Heavy half uses the same balljoint as an ordinary 1/2 ton?

Weren't there some big block suburbans that used different balljoints too?
