Tony,

Maybe a difference between the SRW and the DRW trucks? I looked quickly earlier but didn't find it...
Seems to me there is a link here somewhere on the site with those measurements.
I'll BRB.

Good eye, but no explanation from me. I see the PS being 25.89 and the DS being 26.25 so there's almost 1/2" an inch. 51.82 would be as close to 51 and 7/8" as you'd ever see on a SAE tape measure. I'll try to measure the center on my springs when I get home from work later today, (71' F-350 DRW).

edit: I just measured 52" from one spring eye to the other spring eye.
