Question Will '73 and up front springs bolt right on '72 and older???

Hey guys, quick question.....
I have a '69 'Burban that I'm going to lift. A freind has an '80 that's getting parted out with a 4" lift. Not alot of use on the lift(motor blew shortly after install)....

Will the front lift springs from the '80 swap right over??? Or are they the wrong width/center bolts different?
The truck isn't close by, otherwise I'd just go look and measure..

I plan on flipping the hangers in the back to lift the rear.

Thanks for any help!

No there longer than our trucks. but with mods they can be made to fit you would have to change the spring hangers location.

Ed is right,the front springs are longer.They can be made to work though.I have 73-what ever the year was they went to IFS front springs on my 69.They bolt up and all but the rear spring eye hits the frame.
