I am building a 79 3/4 ton truck. I got my axles, motor,tranny,....., and everything else. All i need are some springs.
I see the 52" springs up front are the way to go. Where should i go about getting these springs from. And what exactly is the zero rate springs.

Seems like most of these guys run stock 52"s out of junk yard trucks. Clean them up and you're ready to go.

ALL K5 Blazers came with 52" springs in the back. look for the newest ones you can get, at least 88 on up. They have lower spring rates than the older ones.
