3rd. gen rear leafsprings

Anyone know off hand if 3rd.gen rear 3/4 or 1 ton leafpacks have the same dimensions as the 2nd. gen packs, width, length, shackle pins,and centering pin?? Gotta replace mine and found some somewhat local, but can't any info before i hit the road.
Thanks!
Cheers!

If noone else replies with a better measurment I am going to say no they wont work. A quick crude measurment from the front spring eye to the block at the axle makes the 3rd gen spring appear to be 3" longer by that point. I can get better numbers on Sat if you still need them.

Close as I can get measuring them on the truck has them at 65" for an 04.5 1ton SRW. I looked at a 2001 3/4 ton and the were 60" bolt to bolt. Looks like a no go.
