not really sure by what you mean auxiliary spring bracket. highdesertranger

 

[HotRodPC]

Ditto !!! I don't get it either.

Are you maybe talking about an overload leaf spring bracket? Those aren't factory if you have them. Not that I'm aware of anyway.

 

[Honky Kong jr]

Are you referring to the piece that holds the plies together?

The heavier rated trucks often had a rear overload spring that would contact brackets that were riveted to the frame. GM used them on our trucks just like other models.

Probably these. Usually they're on 1 tons.

those appear to be aftermarket they don't look at all like my factory ones and the one that is missing doesn't even have the holes in the frame for a factory. also mine are 2 piece the bump stop piece and a reinforcing bracket that mounts under the frame and the bump stop mounts to the frame and the bracket. highdesertranger

 

[highdesertrange]

correction I just looked and there is only the bump stops no other bracket and the stops mount into the fame with 4 rivets. highdesertranger

Yeah those are aftermarket. Although they function the same as the factory setup, so a factory bracket could be used. Might take some hole drillin'.
