67-72 What years of lifts fit

I was curious about what all lift springs will fit under my 71 swb 4x4 . I see tons of trucks and blazers around here for cheap that have lift kits under them and was curious what years i can pull these lifts off of to put under my truck. Thanks

The springs for a 73 to 87 are about 3" longer,if you try to use them it will push your rear shackles in the front back too far and make it ride rough

but if you use the 73-87 springs and move the shackle will your axle be offset with the fenderwell ?

69-72 is bolt on, 68 and earlier is a wider spring.
