Yes you can. Grab the hangers, shackles and axle spring plates and you will be good to go!.

why would you want to put the composite springs on? ive heard nothing but people bad mouth them, i dont know from experience, as i have the steel ones, but i figured if no one else is gonna at least i will warn you. also i just switched my rear end from a G80 to an open rear instead, if your an off roader invest in a tru-trac or something other than the stock one, if you are just a daily driver posi is just a word, you will never need it and may even regret it, my 99 was missing so many teeth i cant believe it even worked and i am by no means hard on my van so i can oly imagine what a 94s rear end would look like by now.

Nothing wrong with fibeglass leafsprings, I put a second set on my 94 EXT and don't need a lft kit, the springs gave it almost 5". And I have hauled as much as a ton of cargo with only about an inch sag under the load. Also mine has a stock posi rear end that take on off roadin with out hesitation. =D>
