Aussie, here are some rough measurements:

Front springs, measurement taken from my OLD beat up ones: 5 7/16 OD, 4 ID, approx 14 OAL. Like I said, they were pretty whooped and I think my freshly installed ones were almost an inch longer.

Rear springs: brand new aftermarket springs waiting to get installed as soon as I find new isolators. 5 1/4 OD on top (bottom is reduced) OAL approx 16". Lemme know if you need more.....exact measurements are tough when its 22 degrees in my garage....

I could use the ID/OD on the lower end of the rear, and are these stock height new springs? That should do it. I am having some built with a couple of extra inches length so I can rally the beast, offroad = more travel. Thanks so much guys.

The very last coil is signifigantly smaller than the rest. This is the coil that rests on the platform on the axle. Its about 3 ID and 3 1/2 OD. These are OEM springs. I measured the ones I just took out, but the IDOD of the new ones were the same, the only thing that differed was OAL.....(old ones were pretty copmresed from age)
