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

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?
