What type of springs are these?!?

Sorry for the difficult question here, but I figured i would take a shot in the dark.

Do y'all have any idea what type of springs these are? I just purchased this 85 and the owner wasn't sure what they were, he thought they were 63" Chevy's.

I can take measurements/ additional pictures tonight if needed

Thanks in advance

REARS




Front

(I know i need to re-weld the front badly)

I took some measurements today (middle of the eye laying measuring tape on the top spring to the middle of the other eye)... I would really appreciate some feedback!

Front Springs:
48" x 2 1/4"
*RUF?

Rear Springs:
~57 x 2 1/4"
*I dont have the slightest idea what these are. I originally thought they were 63" chevy's but I guess they are shorter than that

Any thoughts?

The chevy 63's dont have that many leaves in the pack.

Do they say anything on the top of the springs?

look for any writing on top of the springs..whether it's letters or numbers.

then tell us what you find.

Are the front springs on backwards?? Looks like they have a military wrap pointing backwards.

Hey after a little cleaning, I found the word "TOYREAR" written on the top of the rear springs (See pic below). Doesnt All Pro print "TOYREAR" on their springs?

As for the front springs... Military wrap on the shackle side (pic below) and the measurement from center to the front eye is 25.5" and from the center to the shackle eye 22.5". Are these the stock rears mounted backwards???

response from All-Pro...

"They do look to be All-Pro springs. There should be a 33 – 35 – or 37 printed after the TOYREAR which would indicate whether they are 4, 5, or 6” lift springs. We do sell the replacement bushings if needed."

Thanks for your help guys!
