7? to 8? and maybe some other years, Chevy ran 52" long by 2.5" wide springs in the back of the 3/4 ton 4wds.
I think Ranger rear springs are about 47" or around there.
What's the application?

yeah i have a chev 3/4 ton frame under my bII and the springs are just a bit too much and it is starting to hurt my articulation. so i am looking for something much lighter-duty in the correct length

How's your suspension set up?
Everything stock or you runnin some shackles? Flip in the rear yet?
Longer shackles will help free up some artic and give a little bit of lift. Depending on your pack, you may be able to pull another spring to soften it up. Longer shackles will make up for for the lost height due to the spring.
You could also keep the main leaf and build your own bastard pack.
