If you check almost every spring manufacturers
They make 1 spring...
Example
Reg cab springs drop 2 inches
Ext cab Springs drop 2.25 to 2.5 inches
The aftermarket springs are interchangeable
I have 2 sets of springs currently -
Aftermarket manufact dont want to make 2 different sets of springs
Increases costs and overhead
If you note below
Same spring - slightly different drop

If you check gm - the part numbers for RC and EC springs are different
because of the different spring rate
You can interchange springs
The springs in 03 EC are the same as a RC
