pretty sure the spring eyes are the same size but the spring length and load rating will most probably be different.

LC 60 and LC75 front shocks are the same.

LC60 rear shocks are about 40mm shorter than LC75.

LC60 front springs are 40mm shorter than LC75.

LC60 rear springs are 100mm shorter than LC75.

Hope this helps!

No worries Steve, glad I could help. You could put the shocks in, but thats about hey. Some suspension companies use standard height LC75 shocks for their 2" lift LC60 shocks.
