Dodge 52" Springs...

dirtygoat · Feb 17, 2012

I was reading that dodge 52s have a 24/28 split for the spring pin, unlike Chevy 52s that are an even 26/26 split... This would allow me to move my front axle forward 2 more inches...

My question is, what dodge rigs can I find the 52s under???

Rear 73-93 1/2t p/u or ramcharger/trailduster. Came in 4,5,6, & 8 leaf packs depending on app. Also different bolt sizes: either 1/2, 5/8, or 3/4.

I was able to get it into PDF format (4 pages), I can e-mail to someone if they can attach it. Or I can e-mail it dirrectly to someone if they want it.
Makes it so you can read it, zoom in.... or print.

If you want the file send me an e-mail: [email protected]

It's several places on Pirate. I believe Mr.N posted it first, here's a link to one: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=775943&highlight=leaf+spring

It's also on his website: http://littlekeylime.com/MrN/mrnimages/leaf_springs.png

But the chart agrees with aintstuckjustresting

it says on the dodge 1/2 tons and such... but is that the 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive??

or, are they the same???

Looked at JC Whitney, replacement rear springs are the same part number on 2 wheel and 4 wheel.

I have used dodge springs.

I dont like them.

They are too soft and will most likely introduce wheelhop when used with NO traction bar.

They are very flat and dont help much for tire clearance.

They have reverse rolled eyes that make them rob even more clearance and sit even lower.

I understand that low is good, but sometimes having a spring laying on the fram while your stuck on a spring eye that wont let ya back off of it is kinda frustrating.

Just my .02 :beer:
