Converted the 3/4-ton front brakes to 1-ton and then
converted the 3/4-ton coil springs to light duty 1/2-ton
stuff.
I went with the lightest Moog springs for these
trucks.

You don't want the spring rubbing the frame or moving
around.
And you surely don't want to use coils without the pigtail
like F-100 springs.

Here you can see the 1-ton brakes compared to the
3/4-ton stuff. Diameter the same,
but now have bigger piston calipers and
pads.
Also, the rotors have built-in spacers to work
with the dually rims.
Now I
have a 3/4-ton frame with 1/2-ton suspension and
1-ton brakes.
