Rear leaf spring differences

I am going from 4wd to 2wd and want to know if there is any difference on the rear springs? 82 SWB 4wd frame with 100% stock front and rear suspension. I need to see if I need to get the 2wd springs or if they are the same. I know the brackets are different but what about the springs? Right now mine are 52" eye to eye,measured while on the truck. Does anyone have measurements for 2wd 1/2 tonn SWB srpings?

Re: Rear leaf spring differences

I think their the same, or at least I hope so. I will be using rear 2wd 3/4ton springs on a 3/4ton 4x4. The springs on my 81 are 52 inches and its 2wd shortbox.
