M1009 Spring Pack Set-Up

[Texis]

Being that the Gov rated the M1009 as a 3/4 ton, and that I have noticed they "appear" to set just a bit taller than a stock K5 civilian Blazer....do they share the same spring pack set-up? The K5 has 2 in the front, and the arc is slightly inverted.

Are they a little taller? Is the ride stiffer?

Thanks

the ride sucks lol its 3 in the front I think due to the diesel.

Three was the set up for the K20 trucks...makes sense. They were basically flat, not arched, or inverted as the K5 & K10. That would put the vehicle "about" 1 1/2" higher off the axles than OEM K5.

In theroy, they should tolerate a tad more tire without a lift than a K5....all would be great, except the weeny 3.08 gears, what were they thinking! lol.

And the quest for more knowledge and the right M1009 goes on.

Thanks
