Default leaf spring question

I noticed my truck was riding terrible this weekend so I looked under the truck and the leafs are shot. Soooo i called a few salvage yards here in south florida and the only ones I could find are off of a 98 will they work on a 99 up?

I would get new ones. I wouldn't go to the dealer either, look for a spring place.

I went to a local place in Ga (big moe's) and they built mine. The cost was the same and the springs are stiffer for towing and ride sway/lean.

Would anyone know off hand what size wrenches and sockets needed? I am a long ways from home so I only have the basic sockets and i really dont want to buy a whole set just for 2 or 3 sizes
