springs are the same . its the height of the hangers on the vehicle frame for our square body trucks .

now there is different packs for leaf count and weight capacity so watch out for this .

also there is 52" eye to eye and 56" eye to eye . the 56" is more heavy 3/4 and all 1tons but some 1/2 tons got them .

most replacement springs are cheaper for the heavy option as most are upgrading . lots of times all you need to do a clamp the springs both sides of the center pin and pull the pin let the pack un compress BE CAREFUL and pull the lowest spring / shortest / bottom leaf and re assemble and install .
