    Varying leaf spring anchor plate size?

    Hi all. My dad passed in 2023 and left a neat ‘78 laying in pieces so I’ve finally decided to put it back together. I’ve searched all over man’s can’t figure out why these anchor plates for the leaf springs are 2 different sizes. My thought was that it would be a front and rear one, but I have...

    Soften the ride.

    After 3 years of part time work, I have my "new" K15 on the road. Everything under the hood is new, rebuilt the 700R4 and numerous other tweaks. It passed vehicle inspection and I was ready for some touring. Well, I live back in the woods on a dirt road, connected to a bumpy, pot hole ridden...

    52" VS 56" Rear Leaf Springs

    I have a 75 C10 Stepside and I'm changing the rear leaf springs. When I went online and purchased them from SD Springs, they only listed the 52" with a 4 leaf spring pack like I currently have. I "assumed" mine were 52" as all of the 56" had many more leafs. Okay, I admit I'm an idiot for not...
