Look on the overload spring. There is a part number on it.

Just match them up on the next set.

Look for 2500 springs or a 4+1 pack.

I picked up a set from a craigslist partout for 100 bucks.

Yeah- she's kind of a rare bird, gives me a little more room in the garage..

Already got the P/N- thanks, took the springs back off this morning to test fit carrying it in the back of the Denali and so I can just throw the new ones on when I get back. Oh yeah- going to the boneyard Monday. I'll keep y'all posted......
As she sits now..........
