Dumb suspension question

I'm looking for a way to get an inch or two of lift in the rear of my 93 extended cab truck (to match bj spacers up front). I've basically decided on a "soft ride" add a leaf, but I'm a bit confused on which one to buy.

There is a fabtech softride add a leaf (fts200) that I found, but it specifies that it was designed for 84-88 pickups. I'd be kind of surprised if the 84-88 springs are much different from my 93's, but I figured I better check first. Here's a link to the spings:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...&creative=9325

If someone could shed a bit of light on this for me, I would appreciate it a bunch!

Also, since I'm already wasting your time, I could use some advice on black d-window wheels. I'm assuming they're all similar quality, so I'll probably just get the cragars from summit since the shipping is reasonable. They're not absolute junk are they? I don't wheel the truck very hard... mostly just use it for camping and canoeing

Thanks guys!

The earlier trucks had shorter springs. When I ordered my lift, they sent me the springs for the 84-88 and they were about 6" too short length wise.

I have the cheapest black steelies from 4Wheelparts. I think they were around $55 each and they've held up pretty well. And at that price, it's no big deal if I destroy one.

Gotcha...

So can anyone recommend one of the soft, thin add-a-leaf kits that will fit the 89-95 trucks? I hear that rancho has one, but i can't find my application...
