I dont think there is a bit of diference in the shackles.Maybe the 1/2 is squating(springs are sagging a little)Plus consider tire sizes too.I believe the leaves are a little stronger and theres more of them on a 3/4 too.Some trucks have different size blocks on the rear also.Hope this helps.I kick my back-side for getting rid of my 74 3/4.I added leaves to the front and rear to give her a 4" lift and a susp. rating of a ton and a half,installed a 440,4-spd w/divorced 205.I pulled a many a heavy loads with her and she never failed once.One load(truck and trailer filled)weighed in at the scrap yard of over 6 ton (yes over 12,000 lbs)Oh man now im going to cry.I sure miss my baby..Anyway,hope I am helping to answer your questions.Let me know if I can help again.Thanks,Rorry
