77 rear springs on a 75

[ForealBoreal]

I have a line on a set of 77 lift springs.
I know the front will fit but the rear is the question.
Does anyone know the length of the 75 springs or any details on this?

If the 77 is the same as a 76 series,then they will not fit a 75.. I think we had a thread on this once before and the consensus was the wagons have their own spring length.
Some info on spring length here but I dont vouch for the accuracy.

Yeah I figured so...

I might end up piecing together a new/used kit.
Or just bite the bullet if the truck is worth it and buy a full new suspension.

Works out to be $1000 difference between the two.
Decisions.

So I got some rear spring info from Dobinson.

HJ61 rear spring length 1200mm
HZJ76/77 rear spring length hzj76 (1999 – 2004) 1200mm
BJ70 rear spring length 1200mm
hzj77 (93 – 99) 1383mm
HZJ75 rear spring length 1330mm

Could I make this work or should I just buy some proper emu springs.

So you are trying to put rear springs off a 77 series onto a 75 cab chassis?
I think the troopie and the cab chassis maybe different

Can you measure your own 77 springs?They are measured from eye to eye I believe.
The 73/74 series is also the same length as the 60 and 70 series.

I don't have a measuring tape at the moment. I am out of town at school. I have access to a set of 77 series rear springs and I am wondering if a can use them on a 75 cab chassis.

I have sent dobison a msg again and should have a reply by morning on the ute vs troopy sizes.
