Got a 1/2 ton 2wd frame to use but 2 center leaves are broke on drivers side.top leaf and bottom leaf are fine. Will leafs from a 3/4 ton interchange and if so which leaves do I use as I think it has six.

I just left the main one in and added the rest in. You might pick through the 3/4 ones and try to match the 1/2 ton pack for length.

Springs is springs.
