Chevy pathfinder parts

[sassy gopher]

Hi, I recently picked up a 1979 chevy g20 with a pathfinder 4x4 conversion. From searching on here I have found some good info but could use some more. Is there a list somewhere of what off the shelf stuff they used? I am currently looking into front leaf springs. They are bent the wrong way and the PO put 3" blocks under them. A quick measurement is 45" and basically centered pin. Seems most chevy stuff of that era used 47+". Not looking to really lift it just get some spring with the arch in the correct direction and ditch the blocks. Thanks in advance

I'd think that they would have used suburban/blazer 4x4 front springs from the same period; and those are really flat to start with so no surprise they would sag under

If the spring pack isn't damaged, I'd go to a spring shop and have them re arch the ones you have.
I had a Chevy Pathfinder, many of the front end components were Ford. They used Ford to offset the axle pumpkin
to the left as Chevy ones were in the middle and interfered.

They are definitely shorter than blazer and suburban springs.

Does reaching hold up? I have never had it done before.

On my Pathfinder the rear was sagging a bit.
I had Arizona Spring add a leaf and re arch the pack.
It should last many years.
A good spring shop can fix you right up.
