I posted this in the suspension section and got crickets…

Leaf spring width question:

A while ago I ordered new FRONT leaf springs for my 1969 K2500 from Rock Auto. Now that the weather is turning bad, I was starting to get around to installing them. They appear to be the same part number from multiple vendors. They’re Husky Springs 22-384 aka Dorman 22-384. They’re a three leaf pack and the ones on my truck are only 2 leaves. But the 22-384s are narrower at the eyes. The ones on my truck are 3 1/2” at the front eye and like 3 1/4 at the rear eye. The replacement springs are significantly narrower across the leaf, i.e., 2 1/2 inches. Has anyone installed these on their 3/4 ton 4WD?

I’m not sure sure about the width? Thoughts?
