84 ? You got a rare one

 

[HUMMER H1]

Honestly I am not sure if it’s 84 or 85
I thought it was 84.
It has serial number 004500

I believe 85 was first year of manufacture.
But I could be wrong.
What part of Ca. you in?
Looks like hi desert.

85 was first year of Mfg…
the casted upper spring bracket is for variable rate spring, which also requires Updated lower control arms as well.

ohh ohhh
i was planning to use this spring,

It’s not going to work ?

 

[Retiredwarhorses]

That’s a fixed rate spring, not sure to be honest.

That’s a fixed rate spring

yes it is, I couldn’t find variable rate springs,

What’s the difference in control arms ? Besides the ball joint bolt holes diameter?

 

[HUMMER H1]

what was the original 1985 humvee rear spring rates ?
my humvee didn’t come with variable rate springs, and those new ones are 2200 lb rate,

Those -3 springs are rear for stamped steel perch...not variable.
