Subject: [ihc] Spring interchange on a 1 ton


> Can anyone tell me how to come up with a set of 6" or 8" lift springs for
a 1310? I am trying to build a truck to use on the farm this summer and want
to run a set of 38.5's and I'm trying to get buy on the cheap as best I can
for this project. There use to be places that would re-arch springs. I hate
to spend $400 per corner for custom springs. I'm going to use the overloads
that I have and just block it up more. Any help is appreciated!

t-ette project that I am collecting parts for to bring it up to one ton
specs. This latest truck, a 2WD 1310 that I am going to convert over to 4WD,
just came up. I have a bunch of extra parts and since I have just
successfully pulled off a 2 to 4 conversion on a friends truck, I think I'll
do another one:)

1310 springs are the same as the earlier C series springs as far as width
etc IIRC.  Don't know if it's only the 130/1300 and 150/1500 series or not
though (may be).  Anyway, something that fits those will fit your 1310 too.
There was just talk about a semi bolt up lift kit for C series IIRC on here
is why I mention it....

You think about a shackle flip on the back?  Anything is better than
blocks...
