Leaf Spring Compatibility

[PetroleumJunkie412]

OK, trying to obtain rear leaf springs for the 2011. Rock auto lists a husky and several others with the part number 43-1503HD.

However. They only have one in stock.

They list this for 1983-2003:

Can I just use the ones built for older Ranger? Is there something I'm not seeing? Mount bolts are supposed to be different sizes, but I have no idea.

I believe the id of the spring eye is different between the 2. Look at the bushings and see if you can find dimensions.

Web site, SDTrucksprings shows springs for 2004 thru 2011 if you punch up for 2011. So, maybe 2003 and earlier are different.
Don't think I'd take a chance on the earlier springs unless your 100% sure.
