Bob,
On 1500 springs there's no difference between left or right ends. At one time
I even flipped ends to cure a sagging rear driver side - didn't really work
so I had to do something else.
On earlier pre-1500 (before the sliding leaves) there was a front and back,
but I think it was mostly a clearance problem with the body above the diff.
Good luck,
Charlie B.
