    They should be the same ,, they normally come with a locating sleeve/ring to accommodate both models. Also you remove the top rubber isolator to reduce the amount of flex or movement the diff will have. Personally i don't like blocks and have always had my main leaf springs reversed to get the -2in drop.

    Only the main leaf gets decambered to get the 2in drop, all others go back on as normal . I'll find a pic to show what it looks like. .
