There were actually a couple of (maybe 3) 3/4 ton "packages"
I believe the light one and maybe the middle weight package were the same as what they list for a 1/2 ton. That 7170 sounds familiar.
That's what I gathered when I was looking up the coils I also found the MOOG 7226S that I was told would fit and raise up the front end. I think those were on the cummins models.

I wouldn't use the Cummins spec spring on a /6 truck. There was a light and heavy duty suspension, one way to tell was whether the tie rods were equal length or not
I believe the control arms are different between them too. It's been a while.

It would just ride rougher no?
