With the front now taken care of I turned to the back of the truck and was going to order a Chassis Eng rear spring and mounting kit. Oops though the 1/2 and 3/4 Ton have an identical front clip, the back is something else. 44 Inch center to center of frame for the 1/2 ton and a 52 inch spring length compared to 33.75 center to center for the 3/4 and a 43In spring length.
Anyone have any suggestions or have done any conversions?
I have a Camero axle and diff that I plan on installing and would like to better isolate vibrations with a rubber mount system rather than the direct spring to bushing mount like on the 49 3/4 ton.

I used the rear springs out of a Dodge Caravan. The Caravan's front mounts just unbolt and if you weld on a bracket to your frame you can simply bolt them on. All you need to do in the back is fab some shackles and drill out a hole and weld in a mount for the top of the shackle.
