    I'm in a desperate place here..

    I've been searching the web for an answer for 2 days now... I have come up with nothing. I need to replace my leaf springs, (sagged out).

    Question: Are the leaf springs 1995-2004 the sames size / interchangeable?

    I have been seeing when trying to order they vary.. Ex: 2001-2004 1995-98 98-01 all different options when ordering.

    Hoping to be able to use year 2000 replacement parts in my 2004.

    I ask because if I can use the any year earlier than 2000 I can pick 5 minutes from my house and install tomorrow.

    New to the forum.. sorry in advance. (still learning)

    Thank you

    Im pretty sure that 1995-1997 are different in length, however leaf spring from 1998-2004 are the same.

    Mostly because OME suspension leaf spring come in those options.

    I'm going to order Dorman Leaf Springs 929-401 off summit racing (they say they fit in a 2000).

    Any thoughts before I pull the trigger?

    If you're going to install a moderate lift with adjustable coilovers these will give you a moderate lift.

    Does your 6 inch lift use factory springs?

    OME and worth every penny.
    I don't get it. You say you're going to pick up then you say you're going to order.

    If ordering new springs, why not get better ones than Dorman?
    And if only sagged out, why so desperate?

    Summit Racing has several retail stores around the country, I'm assuming he lives near one of them. I agree though, I wouldn't get the Dorman ones if I had a choice, especially with that much lift.
