They are longer. If you get those they can be used but I would recommend reversing the shackle and placing it in the rear since you will have to modify the brackets anyway.
I plan on this mod soon.

As Neal said, they are longer and you would need to either move the mounts or install a reverse shackle kit. Do you still have the stock TTB Dana 50 front axle? If so, the SD springs are not designed to handle the 'twist' as each side of the axle moves ndependently.

i think you can get an add a leaf for about $100. Lot cheaper than a whole pack. I think im going to put air bags on my front end. About the same as a new leaf pack and i can controll the ride comfort
