no difference fundamentally spadge - technically I believe a 4x4 standard spring maybe a touch longer than 2wd, but not by much

Cool thanks guys
I need some new springs but want to get the front a little higher than it is at present! Just needed to know if the springs were the same in case they are easier to get for 2wd applications!

when you buy Chassis Dynamics spring set, the 4x4 -1" set is the same part number as 2wd std. height.
