i think that i'm running toyota rears up front, which is ~46" long at ride height, measured straight across, so it's probably about the same length as yours.

however, i think that my springs are only 2.5" inches wide, so if you are at 3.5" wide, is that a toyota spring setup?

maybe it's chevy springs, so a trip to the chevy truck junkyard is in order?

Be nice to know just what they came off.

I am guessing you did not do the SAS .

Do you want to go with new springs ??

A set of used springs of unknown vintage??

I did used springs long ago one was good the other once installed with weight was flat .

Off the vehicle they both looked the same.

General Spring hasa great web site for leaf spring dimensions
