You need to know the length and width. If they are the same width I think you could. The spring rate will be way different because of weight difference. The s10 springs seem to be the tried and proven bastard pack method.

they wouldn't be a good donor pack at all. not a ton of arch, and short. You would really only gain the thickness of the leaves as lift.

Ok thanks guys! I'll go back to the jy Saturday. I got s10packs off the shackles and body but the ubolts weren't budging. Anything suggested to get them off?

Breaker bar and a cheater pipe is your best bet in a JY.

Yea, I didn't realize until I got to the jy that I left my big socket set in my buddies blazer ._. So I had a few small sockets, an adjustable, some wrenches, and a hack saw haha. Me and my friend tried cutting the with the hacksaw but it was taking to long and be had to get to work
