can you just change to springs without any cutting/welding?
How about helper springs?
coil spring shocks?

wish question was bit more specific, he could mean something else.. he is asling abotu swpping to 3/4 ton springs, but have to assume he means swapping from blazer leaves to 3/4 ton leaves on a blazer., if they are the same or not. no point in swapping to, he could just add some leaves, and cut length of each leaf he adds to the right length, 1/2 ton leaves would work fine, should be same width anyways, just add some more if he wants ot stiffen it more or lift truck a little bit more, but will need longer U bolts.,
