Not possitive, but I think 72 are 2 1/2'' and 73 are 3'' wide,and 73 are longer(eye to eye).

Not all 73-79's had 3" springs mine and my friend's F250 Have the 2.5" ones and my GVW is 8,000lbs so go figure that one out? I'm in the middle of a spring swap that will give me 13 springs on each side 12+1overloader. My whole family says I'm taken this truck thing to far but hey when is the last time you heard someone say MAN oh MAN I now have too much truck for this trailer and the oposite is just down right scary
