DIY Metric Ton Leafs?

[Goose_XJ88]

Has anyone done a Junkyard upgrade with stock MJ pack and swapped overload springs from a full size truck? I did a search and spent a few hours looking but didn't come across anything. 

 

Just something that had crossed my mind to increase the payload of the MJ to the MT without having to track down MT springs or buy them new from General Spring (if they still make them) 

 

Thanks for the input and knowledge

Are you looking for lift or increased payload? There should be plenty of options that could fit. You will likely need to redrill the center pin hole as the MJ one is offset a bit. I’ve seen 2 different co figurations called “metric ton” springs. One was a 4+1 pack and another the 3+2. I suspect the 3+2 is how the factory did it but I may be wrong

I think it was a year thing. Early ones had the springs one way, later ones had it another way. If I recall correctly…
