Re: 3/4 ton to 1 ton springs

You might ask this same question in the 4x4 area.
Sorry I can't help.
Anyone know?

Re: 3/4 ton to 1 ton springs

Lots of springs are available. Some shops also offer tow truck springs (12+ leaf packs!).
Measure the width of the spring. And the length. And start looking around. 1 tons usually use 56" springs. Your 3/4 ton could be either 52 or 56", so measure what you have first.

Note: link for examples, I have not purchased from them;
