Oh boy another lift question... At least its not a body lift question hahahaha
But yes springs from different vehicles can produce lift and more load capacity as long as they match up, use the search bar and I believe there is a list of compatible spring on this website already

any leaf spring that is 2.5" wide and spring under axle with work. S10, datokats, isuzu's etc.

I bought 3" and got 3.5" of lift, i dont know if its settled any or not b/c i havent measured since i put it on
