What year truck did you take them from? I have read that some of the early 2500's 94-95 used the 2.5 wide leaf springs. If you don't belive us have a look at Ham bones thread proof right there for you to see.

Did you actually take the springs off the donor truck? I would like to see pics of them.

Not a dually it's not a 3500.

Measure their width. I would bet they are 2.5in

That right there makes this whole thing questionable. 3500 were duallys for these year trucks.

As posted pix please with a tape measure across them.
