Reverse Curve Front Spring Set?

[rumplecat]

The springs on my M1008 have a reverse curve to them, the truck looks fine but there is a definite droop to the springs! This truck was someones pet at a near by NG base so some modifications may have been made for comfort? Add a leaf or a new spring pack, if I can find a couple?

In my experience, the springs on the 1008's and other cucv pickups normally have a slight downward "frowny face" look to them. You could add a helper spring if it concerns you or you plan on using a snow plow. Otherwise, I wouldn't be too concerned as it would stiffen the ride.

That is what came from the factory....reverse curve on the front

Not something I am use to! I have a 1947 Power Wagon, that has had a hard life and it still has a good arch to the springs!

The reverse curve on the GMs are normal. If you are that concerned, you can either purchase new ones or have the old ones re-arched.
