Stock 4x4 '86-'95 minitruck leafs are a straight swap and will give ~2" lift.

'98 leafs will fit in front hangers but you will have to relocate rear hangers for correct shackle angles (leafs are longer than the 95-97s). The axle will have correct placement, extra length is in rear of spring. Lift will correspond with mfg. spec.
Hope that helps a bit.

TTORA is a great source

Also, To answer that question with a bit more tech :

You might be able to get away with the 98+ springs with some long as hell shackles, But youd have a crappy ass shackle angle and your axle would probably be moved either forward or back, thus creating drivetrain problems and not to mention the tires would be in a bad spot for how the rear fenders are cut in the first place, So some would be in order if you actually wheel the thing..

So my advice just get some springs from an older truck..

Good luck..
