MQ/MK Springs
God of Magnificant Ideas!
Lengths are all the same ...... regardless of whether they are out of a ute, SWB, LWB.
All front paks are fully interchangable with each other
All rear paks are fully interchangable with each other
Differances........
the actual spring rate varies from year to year as does the number of leaves per pack.
IE some have 3 leaf fronts...some have 4 leaf fronts .... others have a 5 leaf front and a few have a 7 leaf front.
the rear packs vary the same way.....just to confuse ya even more !
Nissan spent a huge amount of time developing the right pak, unfortunatly they kept changing their minds as to "what was the correct formula" and generally each year saw a differant spring pak design released with that years model.
now to really stuff ya up.........
the after market manafacturers make several differant paks aswell..... form light to heavy duty and everything inbetween.
but atleast they are all the same length .... thank god

Yep as kingy said all interchangable.
Mine has aftermarket carrols and are great though I did take 2 leaves out of the rear and 3 leaves out of the front.
