What are you attempting to do? that may help us figure out a solution for you. Also, the front doesn't necessarily have a "spring rate". torsion bars have a different rating (pounds/degree). I would have to do some looking, but if you truely need the numbers, I am sure they are available some where.

I posted the same question a while ago, I can't remember who answered me, but they confirmed that the rear springs are 248# rate.

FYI, NAPA sells 2 different rates, 248 & 215(?).

The 215# springs are for those trucks with the rear air ride. They use a slightly softer spring to allow the air bags to take some of the load and not affect ride quality.
