coil spring question

Are the coil springs the same on a 5.3 2wd vs a 6.2 2wd? I'm guessing maybe the 6.2's might be stiffer but will they interchange?

I would bet they 're not stiffer
Isn't the 6.2 an aluminum block and 5.3 is iron

A 6.2 would weigh less than an iron block 5.3 so the spring rates may not correlate the way you expect. To answer your question though, yes they would swap.
