The height is the same and the dimensions are the same you will be ok. If they rise your front end more than 2 " you'll have problems such as camber adjustment as well as pitman arm problems. Measure them against your original springs to see.

I'm just going to make one suggestion, whatever you do, DO NOT get the adjustable camber shims, we have had nothing but problems with them at our shop.

agreed, I have a set in my truck and will be removing them as soon as I can find someone with the right ones.

I used a set of springs I got from super lift that were called leveling springs. I had dropped my real end 2" and needed two inches in the front to level out the truck. Surprise was that I got a slight rake and needed the shims to correct camber adjustment.
without any other hardware 2" is about the limit you can go..I guess ;-)

Everyone is talking about shims on the TTB frontend. Where do they go, how are they installed, can someone tell me why they just don't include drop down brackets with these leveling kits?

the shims go in the spindle in the upper ball joint. If you crawl under the truck and look up in the upper spindle you will see the hex nut end sticking out of the ball joint hole. I have seen kits that include other adjustment shims for the spindle as well..

well lets put it this way ..If your doing it at all, your axles are in the shop getting the ball joints pressed out because if your going down that far you might as well. I was also rebuilding the steering portion of the front end. I had the guy that would align the thing put the adjusters in for me after I was finished. See my gallery..
