Yea. Thats kinda of what I thought. After I measured them, I decided to wait

I have a small pile of Chevy 3/4T rear springs, one pair 2WD, one
pair 4WD, and I haven't really seriously considered them for Toy
use.  I think the late-model 1/2T springs are the desirable ones,
but I'm not real sure.

The springs I've got are thick leaves, many leaves, and very stiff;
I wouldn't expect to see much travel out of them.  They're also not
the really long stuff that is better for travel.
