Rear leaf springs advice

I know this topic has been beat to death but I have what I believe to be Allpro 56” springs the long travel 3" or 4” lift. I had planned to use them to level out the saggy butt however; I didn’t realize how much fabrication was involved… Now, I’m considering 63” Chevy spring. After searching and reading a lot of posts am I to believe that the Chevy springs are the better option? The Allpros might lift me too high.

Opinions and supporting evidence please, if available.

Thanks

Specifying which vehicle might help in feedback.

Are you putting them on a truck with a stock front end?

Sorry

It's an 89 4runner IFS stock front. I hear that the Chevy springs lift about 3" and the allpros were bought for a truck so the topper weight might keep the lift from being too high but i realy don't know. I'm going Chevy unless you change my mind. Of course that will require me to get another set of springs though.
