So I have a 78 blazer, and I found a 14 bolt out of a 86 3/4ton. My question is will the spings and axle fit right under and do I have to modify the 14 bolt spring perch's If I decide not to use the springs out of the 3/4 ton.

I though that I read the 3/4ton spring seats did not line up exactly. Also my springs are pretty gone on my blazer and that is why I was wondering about the 3/4 springs fitting. Thanks.

spring can be either 52 or 56" on both vehicels so you have to check the length but other wise they will bolt right in.

the 3/4t will swap in, 1 ton would need to be moved.
