Break Drum Question.
ok so my truck is a 1989 Silverado C2500 2WD 350/5.7
GVWR
7200
6 Lug Wheels.
ok so I just got brake shoes for my truck today and im all ready to replace them but my dad recommended that i should replace the springs he can't remember if he ever had them changed and they look pritty beat up and rusty, so i think i am just ganna change them.
ok my question is how to tell which springs i need to buy, autozone sells two different spring kits.
One -
Application: With 11 5/32 x 2 3/4" brakes
Duralast/Brake Drum All-In-One Kit - Rear (H7191) | AutoZone.com
Two -
Application: With 11.15" x 2.75" brakes.
Duralast/Brake Drum All-In-One Kit - Rear (H7046) | AutoZone.com
Any help would be great thanks.

If you look at the sizes, the are the same. One is fractions and one is decimals. If you read the description on the Autozone site the one in fractions says sell until depleted. The decimal one is replacing the other one. Either one should work.

Yea I noticed that too this morning when I read this post. If they are 11" in shoes then it doesnt matter what springs you get. They should still be the same. In any event, the difference between fractions and decimals is probably the way they stamped the specs on the drum.
