2wd and 4x4 rear leaf interchangeable?

i cant find this information anywhere. from all the wheel hop i found out that my rear leaf springs are actually starting to bend upwards...not downwards.
so i went to the junk yard and they gave me leaf springs for a 4x4 94 extended cab. i have a 93 2wd standard cab.

i measured the 2wd at 51" eye to eye(keep in mind the spring is bent to S***)..so i think its longer then normal.

the 4x4 rear was like 48".

it looks doable i just want some confirmation. if they work i'll just put lowering blocks on those to even it out and it wont sit so high. thank you!

The 4WD springs should also be 51" long if they are from an '89 or newer pickup:

Did you measure along the arc of the spring or from eye to eye? Proper way is to lay a tape along the arc of the spring.
