It should have 56" long springs in either an 8/1 or 9/1 set up. I looked at SD Truck Springs and the 8/1 is the same for my K30 SRW. This truck will have the narrower spring hangers like mine. If I recall, the chassis cab has a 14 bolt rear vs the Dana 70. It should have the 3.5" wide rear brake shoes/drums. I'd be interested to find out if your drums are closer to the spring than mine.

My drums are definitely closer, I’d say less than an inch of clearance lol

A cab&chassis truck has the drums much closer to the springs. Changing a wheel cylinder or even bleeding the brakes can be a challenge due to the lack of room.
It is a very tight squeeze..

Do the chassis cabs have the 131.5" wheel base like long bed trucks? Here's an idea since you have the narrowed rear axle. This is a short bed, but I'd rather have a long bed.

No they dont, I know they are definitely longer, can’t remember the measurement though. I’ll have to find it or, I’ll get a tape measure on it anyways to see what it is
