I was just offered a set of 1 ton dual K30 springs from a '78 and I was curious what differences there are between the front and rear on my '80 K30 SRW. The back obviously has the extra overload pack in with either 2 or 3 extra leafs compared to mine, but from pictures, can't really tell any difference in the front. Were they the same ride height and could I put them into my SRW without issues? Would sort of like the extra overloads in the back.

My '85 K30 SRW had the 3 leaf set up in front. The rear had the 8/1 spring plus the over load on top.

Lol, I just read through your whole build thread an hour ago. Very nice progress, sure wish I had time to do that to mine. The springs in question look identical to the ones on this truck from what my buddy said. Looks like more than one spring on the top.

Think I'm going to keep mine mostly stock height since I'm putting the plow on and flat bed for pulling goose neck and 5th wheel, just slightly larger tires, going to push the limit on hauling stuff on the flat bed is why considering something extra.
