I ask because I odered a pair of Belltech 3 inch lowering springs for a 720 to put on my 620 and put the bushings thinking they were the same but apparently the center bolt hole is not  in the middle of the springs I will take them off again in the morning and reverse the springs

Is the center bolt ona 620 in the middle or center of the leafs or how bout a 720 cus my measurments say no?

 

The mount position for the axle is not centered on the leafs, there is a front and back to a leaf spring on all leaf springs from 1963 threw at least 1986 as far as I know, I believe that the mount point is a few inches towards the front.

olderdat620 - would you mind sharing the part number for the beltech springs? I really hate having three inch blocks. Also, are these steel or composite?

 

As the other guys have said, when I installed my blocks I found that the pin is more toward the front of the truck, not centered on the springs.

Ok see if this is right I put the supposedadly 720  Belteck part # 5974 rear leafs but had to make 2 by 2 inch blocks cus I wanted the truck to sit a lil lower I cut the 2by 2 blocks 7 inches long and removed the 2 short cut leafs that make for an inch in the  leaf pack drilled  a hole for the pin 1 inch behind center on the bottom welded a bolt for the top to center and everything dropped into place- trying to get pictures
