The spring eye bolts are going to be larger on the 200 springs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that stopped after 68.
Also, I am not aware of anyone that makes the correct rear springs for our trucks. They moved the centering pin 2" in '72 and those are the only springs I have been able to find.
If you go junkyarding for replacement springs, or more/stronger leaves to rebuild your pack, Dodge listed the spring capacity on the door placard. That helps you compare how much gain over what you already have.
