Not going to help in any with a lift. They are overall the same axle. couple very minor differences which will not hinder interchangeing. They are the same length so doesn't do ank thing.

I think you may be referring to S10 leaf springs. I know in the Jeep world, leaves from an S10 leaf pack are used to add lift to stock springs. http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/s10-springs-inconsiderate person-pack-1380/ I used a couple leaves on each side from a pair of front packs from a Grand Wagoneer.
