They show different part numbers so it would be trial and error (but I don't think so). Series 9,and 10 take P#94027873 and series 11 and 12 take P# 94228990

Do you not have the original spring? They can be repaired or rebuilt by a spring shop. They are places that do that stuff.

Measure you springs eye to eye, and front eye to center pin, if these match on both leaf sets, you;re good to go. I personally would not waste my time rebuilding (getting harder and harder to find places to do it). Find another set of used ones, save yourself $500-$600 on rebuilt or new ones, for that price you can get a NICE set of flexy leaf springs (if that is your fancy!).

Why are you replacing your springs? more lift? broken? worn? Heck, toyota springs might even work on there. :wink:

Hey Chavy, was that $180 to have your springs done? Did they add additional leafs to yours?
Mine has the same problem with sagging the rear. Tempary I used overload springs that bolt on.
