Will the front spring pockets from a dentside fit on a bumpside

2WD or 4WD?
Top or bottom of spring?

4WD will interchange
2WD I don't know.
Tops are welded and not worth the trouble.

The spring pockets are welded on the frame , I suppose you can cut and modify them , but thats a lot of work.

Try and find a "real " spring shop , with dimensions and weight maybe they can match up some springs. ??

The ones on my truck are riveted to the frame and all the ones 2wd and 4wd look to be riveted as well

Maybe , I live in Michigan and I've so much rust and dirt I never really noticed.

If they're riveted, you can use an angle grinder with a cut off wheel to take off the heads and a punch (air hammer) to drive them out.
Use hardened bolts to put it together.
And use eye and hearing protection. (for sure eye.)
