Doesn’t matter who made your old springs. Either they’re fine and you can use them, or one or both need to be replaced. You’d replace them with whatever brand you want.
Replacing just one spring pack is a loser. It won’t match the other one. If one spring needs to be replaced, replace them both.

Sorry, @In2cruisers i don’t know what those part numbers are. They sorta seem like an old Rancho or superlift part number. Pics? Best of luck

Ive had a set...front and back ...OME with just a couple hundred miles on them in the shed for about 5yrs.. was planning to throw them on and offerup the set on the truck now..... wanted to know something about them if someone asks
 
no one has seen these ??/
 
If they're noticeably different from the OME, in what way?

The whole setup was janky......might be good springs?????Hard to say ..... seeing one rear and one front shackles were different... Had Rancho 9000xl adjustable shocks...... each set to a different stiffness...... Sway bar was oem... and untouched..... so completely free floating due to rubber break down / hardening..... one bushing was even missing.... rode really sloppy.....

Wanted to go with what I know....what and when.
Had a full set on OME springs that only had 500 miles on them.... been in shed for about 4yrs...... buddy sold his 60 and buyer wanted stock...so I pulled and kept....
 
no one ???? really ????
 
To be honest I’d agree they might be old Rancho’s or something. So you have new
Good OME’s to put on? Old spring packs just go to metal recycling. Unless someone
wants bush truck springs they won’t care where they came from, just that they fit.
