HI i have a 1980 yota L/B that is lifted with 35's but the springs are going bad so I just bought a lift kit off craigslist the springs are pro comp and they measure 43" from eye to eye but the springs I have on my rig now measure 47 in the rear and 47" in the front whats the deal? the springs i just bought were on a 1985 yota. Did i just screw my self or can they work once i put a load on the springs? thanks for your time

 

Yep.

How did you measure them eye to eye? Along the length of the leaf spring or across the air?

 

I measured across the air

 

Now measure both the other way.

 

I'll be dammed it worked the new ones measure 48" in the rear and 46" in the front and the old ones are just a little off but i think that is just because i measured those ones with them installed thank you for your help its good to know that i did buy the right springs
