Which springs & shocks?

I'm working out of town and picked up a 89 extended cab w/22re/5sp/4x4 & 3" body lift for a DD. I'm looking at some OME springs to fix the rear sag and shocks to stop the bounce.

Can someone advise which OME springs, 43" or 47" and which shocks to fit the lift?

Save your hard earned money, go to a junkyard and find some 63" Chevy springs. Buy/make some new brackets to mount your new springs, then go shock shopping.
Good Luck,

Tye

I've been looking at that. Trouble is I'm 3000 miles away from home & shop, living in a hotel and been working 7/12s since Thanksgiving. No money troubles tho I can do a simple spring swap in the parking lot but anything beyond that...
