Well two things come to mind. Dimension (width/length), and pin location. There are a few spring suppliers in the Northwest that have spring specs online for a plethora of vehicles. Perhaps brousing around would provide you with a means of different vehicles to choose from. If I find one, I will post it, but a few search phrases did not immediately return what I was looking for.

Edit: Some of this info may be useless, but I am trying to help.

One of the better articles:

This one is good for comparing:

This should get you on the right track as the width, eye, and eye measurements are given. You will have to make references to different models etc., but I think it will help.
