Do you run them? Do you like them? I would like to level my dually will these do the trick?

 

I run them and they ride a little better than what they replaced.I don't have many miles on them so I'm hoping that they will ride better with some miles on them.

 

But did they level the truck?

 

There IS a heavier duty option than those springs.
It's an application that was suggested to me by a fellow on another forum, don't have a part number.

Well thanks Mark, that's real helpful.


That's like saying, "I know of something better than sex, but I can't recall what it is...."

 

LMAO, leave it to you to come up with that!

The application is for the last of the "old body" GM 1 ton Dually Crew cabs, something like '86-'92.
The wire diameter is slightly larger, the free/installed heights are a smidge more, but they use the same inner diameter.
The wire size is what really makes the difference, of course THAT is the dimension that eludes me.

I went to Rockauto with the app. and did the comparison and it did indeed come up with a usable difference.

Mark.

 

does anyone else have an opinion about these springs?

 

The last of the square body 2wd 1 ton dually truck springs is what your talking about...

The 7226 spring is used in alot of suburbans also, I found this by going to Rock Auto also...

 

It did mostly level mine out.It sits about an inch lower in the front,but I have an add a leaf in the rear spring pack.If it wasn't for the add a leaf it would be level.The pictures in my gallery show the truck before the 7226s springs.

 

The Moog 7226S is the wrong spring for a 1st gen dually. You want the Moog 5716S spring.

7226S Load rate per in = 1135 lbs/in

5716S Load rate per in = 1430 lb/in

In addition the 5716S is slightly larger.
