Go to a local Dayton Spring Dealer, that is what I did as I had the same concern as it appears all spring manufactures/sellers use the same part numbers.
The Dayton Springs are manufactured in Harrisburg, PA - I spoke with Dayton Tech Support
There is also a Dayton Factory Sticker / Label on...
2 rear springs; 20 pieces, 4 brackets, 2 ORD SuperShackles, 4 ORD front hd shackles, 2 ORD Offset 1" Zero Rate Add a Leaves , Ubolt Reversal Kit; 4 u-bolts, the 2 plate and 6 rivets
All sandblasted to bare metal and powder coated flat black
cost was $400.00

Which brand of spring did you installed?
Is the main spring a regular wrap eye or a reverse wrap eye?
Would you recall the part number of the spring?
Weight capacity?
Thank You
Joseph
My plan is;
Dayton (Made in USA) Front Springs 22-402HD
4 Leaves Full taper.
Pack Thick - 1-15/16" , Spring Capacity at Pad 1,900 lbs
Add the Dayton Tapered Extra Leave - 22-402XL
This will add 500lb of captacy
This will be a total of 5 leaves with 2,400lb total capacity per spring.

No there is no overload spring, the overload spring that GM put on are the same that where used on DRW civilian trucks.
The pack thickness is 4-3/8 inches for the 22-617HD springs
I am installing them in a spring shop, have available tooling and material to manufacture u-bolts on site

FWIW - I have a M1031 used the 15490, when I had to change this belt I use a 15485 last time; the 15485 is 1/2" smaller, is a litte tighter as adjusted for wear and stretch. I also use a belt tension gauge, have an older Borroughs gauge.

As in the title, anyone had the Passerger Side Generator burn/short through fuel return line.
