new coil springs

[rockyrivermark]

1970 C10
350cu/350 auto
short bed converted
fully restored this past year and mostly stock

so my spid states that my truck has heavy duty springs. The ride is decent but I was considering changing the springs to a standard or non heavy duty if that makes sense. with 3 other trucks i used for work I have no need to load or haul with this c10.
any suggestions on whether this will make a difference?
I'm guessing heavy duty springs were and option and not standard?
any brand you could suggestion
any input appreciated.
thanks!

When I rebuilt the front end on my 72 last year I went with Moog HD. With the 1 1/4 inch sway bar I added it is pretty stiff. If I ever have to do the ball joints again I'll probably switch to standard springs. Handles the curves well, but on rough surfaces it's too harsh to be comfortable.

the "heavy duty" springs on your 1/2 may be nothing more than a set for the big block or even a 3/4 ton. I would just order a set for a 1/2 ton small block

Wouldnt this be referring to the REAR springs as thats where the additional payload rides?

Hey, keep your logic to yourself

So checked the spid again this morning and yes it's HD rear springs. I assumed it was front and back.
Going to get standard spring and possibly 1.5" lowering blocks to level stance.
Thanks for input.
Such a great board here
