    Does anyone know where I can find a list that shows the length and width of the leaf spring between 1989 and 2012?

    I installed a set of NWOR 750lb over HD springs in my 89 pickup that I still have out back and my 2012 is sitting flat in back with just a fibreglass cap and a plywood storage box in back. Worst case I'd like to take one leaf out of the NWOR springs and add it to the 2012 leaf pack if they're the same width.

    I know I could go measure it but I'm rather comfortable right now sitting here eating chips.
    Thanks,
    Pete

    thanks for the link. What do you get of this for a spring length?

    • Width = 2-3/8
    • # of Leaves = 4(3/1)
    • Measures (A/B) = 27-11/16 x 27-11/16
    • Pack Thickness = 1-7/8
    I'm gonna go measure and see what I get.

    the leaf springs on my 2012 are a good 10 inches longer than the leaf springs on my '89. They're good NWOR HD springs with Teflon bushings on the '89 so I'll just steal a leaf from that set and add it to the 2012 leaf pack if the stock springs can accomodate the sturdy and ample arc in the NWOR spring pack.

    truck sat up nice until the cap went on it

    and then a storage box got added to the back. Notice the el cheapo 3/16" cap clamps, I didn't even want to find out how much that device is to buy new.

    I want the 2012 to sit up in the rear and carry a load like the '89 used to. that's stock ride height in the front with the NWOR HD springs in the rear. Need hydraulics fixed up on rear cap window then onto the spring retrofit.
