Well, you'd need to get 2wd leaf springs as the 4wd ones are 3" wide (requires replacing AND relocating the hangers)

If you really want 1/2 ton springs, do the chevy leaf spring swap (STILL requires relocating the front hangers)

None, as your truck would ride like an F-in dump truck (stiff as hell)
