If I remember correctly, the 4WD trucks use 2.5" wide leaf springs, while the 2WD trucks use 2.25" wide springs. Or some variation on that...the main point is that the 2WD stock leaf springs are narrower by a quarter inch than the 4WD size, which is the far and away most common size.

I ended up getting mine custom made locally when I put my drop leaf springs on, but it looks like Early Classic lists them in their catalog, and I doubt they're the only ones who have them. You're just not going to have much luck at the local stores.
