As far as what leaf springs, it all depends on what you want. Something tall, stiff/stronger, soft, longer for articulation or or just looking for a cheep price. The FAQ2 in this section has several links of solid axle swaps.
+1 to that. I don't think anybody on this forum has done a solid axle swap to these trucks so you may want to check out the links in FAQ2 for the info you need.

It might not be, but hard to say. Go measure your truck to see what factory is. I know mine is going to be several inches wide using full size truck axles.
**EDIT**
Actually that is a bit on the narrow side. Our trucks are ~64 inches WMS to WMS... give or take an inch cause it was a rough measurement. Just out of curiosity, what is the axle out of?
