leaf spring dimensions
I have a 60 panel truck and am wondering if anyone knows what the dimensions of the front and rear main leaf springs are?
I ask instead of measuring my self because... I am just now dropping my engine and tranny in. and I know I want to go with reverse eyes mains to lower the truck. I called up a truck wrecker who said he would most likely have them but I needed to bring him the leafs or give him the measurements. I cannot afford at this point to have them made around here they go for $130 a piece. But I can get them from the bone yard for $30 a piece, that I can afford. So before I take them off and apart I would like to know if he has them or not or.... I will just have to wait.
Unless of course i can just measure them on the truck with weight on them???
I need length, thickness, and width.
thanx

Width = 2.00" / Length 44.00 (22.00" center bolt to end) / Thickness = .291
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rear Spring
Width = 2.25" / Length = 52.00" [center bolt to end-front-24.00"] [center bolt to end-rear-28.00"] / Thickness = .262"
Overall length of leaf springs is measured from center bolt to end.
Next time, please list the number of spring leafs. There are 3 different front springs, 2 different rear springs. All had to be compared to come up with the correct information.
