Exclamation Front Coil Springs Help?!?!?

whats up i got a 1999 dodge ram 1500 sport 4wd 5.2 auto trans extended cab short bed. I was putting in my leveling kit and my coil springs came out in 2 pieces and for some reason i can't find front coil springs for a 99 4wd ram 1500...any ideas of where to look or can i put in springs from another year or does 2wd and 4wd have no difference. Let me know because im stumped

My bad, you have an extended cab. Rockauto.com has several to choose from.

You could go to a junk yard and get some. The 4x4's are a little higher from the factory then the 4x2, but it shouldn't make a difference.

i went to lmc and they only show springs up to a 96 for 1500 and 2500. is there a difference in the style of the spring or something for the years.

And i went to my jukyard and they dont have any 4x4 1500s

I looked around on various websites, couldn't find crap for coil spring replacements. Does your JY have any 2500's or a close year model to your's?

just went onto rockauto. do you know the difference between the variable and constant rate spring...pertaining to my lift since its a coil spacer. i would rather go with the variable rate spring but will my lift still fit them?

2 pieces? Meaning that they broke? If so, how'd you manage that?
