Default Help to id front sturt sierra

Alright people i had a 91 sierra twin cam. I was making a bit of a drifting machine. I brought some spax front suspension. They never fitted into the hubs. They were too fat. Think there from 4wd sierra. So need help to id what i have here.
Dimensions
Base diameter (where it goes into the hub) 4.5cm
From the base to the spring cup 24cm
From the base to the very top of the top mount 57 cm
So if anyone can help that would be great

The two basic types are either 2wd or 4wd, you have the 4wd, then there is a different height spring pan, on the lower ones as fitted to cossies etc you can just about get your little finger between the tyre and spring pan(with 205/50X15), other spring pans you can get two fingers in there easy.
