rear springs up front?
i have a 4 in. lift 33x12.5 tires and am (ofcourse) getting fender rub on my 84 4runner. i have a set of extra stock rear springs that i have heard will move your front axle forward an inch or so. any advice?

You move the axle forward 2inches, because the front half of the springs are only 20.5 inches long instead of the stock front 22.5 inches. You need hysteer, and Extra leaves to let the springs hold up the engine weight, etc.
and i think d.s. extension is needed.
I have 4in. of lift with 37s and get fender rub too

Add more leaves, I went from 5 to 6 and finally 7 in my front pack. And to stop bottoming out the shackle, make it longer, I went 2" longer on mine:
