so do the 3/4 tons front springs fit onto a half ton? are they a much stiffer spring as well? ive got an 01 4X4

I believe they do a bit, but I don't think they even it out if that's what you're looking for. Skyjacker and other companies like them make leveling kits of that's what you want. That would be the way I would go. In my experience, trying to jerry-rig something to work isn't nearly as good or fulfilling as buying the correct parts and doing it right.

sounds like a good idea although my front end has bottomed out a lot over the years so i was thinking stiffer may be better as well but leveling is wat i want so ill look into the leveling kits

use the ones designed for your truck, the 2500 springs make the ride worse.
