Are the springs sided ... Got a pair from the wrecker casue, the one on the truck has broken leafs and only the main leaf is there... But is the passenger leaf suspose to go on that side or can they be swaped sided to side. Set from the wrecker are not marked

measure the center of the front bushing to the locating pin,
do this on both sides, and then measure the old spring.
i think their symmetrical, but dont know for sure.

They are the same. You can check whatever spring packs you cobble together from the parts you have. Put a straight edge across from spring eye to spring eye (ideally center to center of eyes with a helper or clamp) and measure distance from center bolt to straight edge. There are specs for what they should be but important thing is they are the same or very close or the truck will sag unevenly on one side.
