I just replaced the springs on my 1972 109 SW and I was concerned about the same thing but was pleasantly surprised that it really did not make a big difference. I did the two leaf front and the three leaf rear. I think it would make a big difference on a military chasis.Comment

If your curent suspension is wasted, mine was, 3 out of 4 springs with at least 1 broken leaf in it, a new suspension will probably sit a little higher. I went with a standard 88 set of springs. 9 leaf front 11 leaf rear if I remember correctly. But the new suspension didn't look "jacked up" at all. My tires are 235x85x16 and look fine. My suspension has @ 6000 miles on it now, My friend who also has a '64 2A put a set of parabolics on his truck this year. The height of the bodies between both trucks is within 1/2 inch of each other. We both thought the paras would sit a couple of inches higher than a standard suspension but it didn't. He also runs 235x85s. I don't know what brand springs he went with but I'll see if he can post up some information.

My buddy says his parabolics are made by "Rocky Mountain." 2 leaf front, 3 leaf rear.Last edited by badvibes; 08-30-2007, 06:32 PM.1964 Series 2A SW, LHD mostly stock, often runs!
