Rear spring eye-to-eye measurement for 45 vs 45LV

[BulletHead]

anyone know if the rear spring eye-to-eye measurement is the same for the 45lv and the 45?

just trying to figure out if rear springs from a 45 will fit a 45lv.

I measured both my longbed 45 and my lv. The length of the spring and the amount of drop to the center was exactly the same. I was surprised to find this because OME said I couldn't interchange the two. The truck springs fit perfectly on the lv. I am expecting a stiff ride b/c I had purchased the heavy duty set for the longbed and never installed them and instead put them on the lv.

Eye to Eye.

As Aussie 25 says, that's correct.

40-42
Rear: 1070mm center line eye to eye
Front: 1060mm center line eye to eye

43-46 + 47
Rear: 1265mm center line eye to eye
Front:: 1060mm center line eye to eye
