Yes they will interchange. Even if you have a monoleaf rear you won't have any trouble,just run 4 U-bolts instead of the original 2 U-bolts to give it a little more stability. Check the welds on your perches while the springs are out and have a shop weld up (or do it yourself if you don't weld like me)if necessary. From experience I would say be very wary of used springs as they hide cracks and stress fractures extremely well. Removal of the bushings is a pain and can run up costs if you have them pressed out. Fresh springs only cost about $175 Canadian (about $12 US!) So save yourself some grief and find a reputable spring shop. They will probably have your application in stock. Or you can get fancy and special order your needs for a little more money. RD
