From All-Pro's site....
Many customers ask us what size spring we would recommend for their trucks. Generally speaking, we always try to keep our trucks as low as possible for stability on the trail. In other words, we would rather install a 4” spring and do some trimming and cutting to make them fit than do a 6” spring with no trimming, but then have a top heavy truck that feels tippy on the trail.
If you want a lift that does not require trimming, a general rule of thumb is as follows:
4” lift : 33”-35” tire
5” lift : 35”-36” tire
6” lift : 36”-37” tire
This would take into account a 12.5” tire width and 3.75”-4.25” backspacing 8” to 10” wide rim. Wider tires will require a taller lift to avoid trimming. Because different tire manufacturers vary in sizes, we cannot guarantee this will work in every case, but is a good starting point. Of course larger tires can be fit with trimming to the fenders and firewall than the recommendations above, as we have had 4” lifts with 38” tires, no body lifts, and zero rubbing when trimmed correctly.
Keep in mind that when installing our springs with our hangers and shackles, you will gain approximately 1.5” additional lift from these components. So a 4” spring in combination with our shackles and hangers will yield a 5.5” approximate total lift height.
When installing the same lift onto a 4 Runner, the rear springs will need to be 1”-2” taller than the front to compensate for the added weight of the vehicle. 1984-1989 4 Runners weigh an average of 700lbs more than the pickup because of the hardtop, glass, interior components, roll bar, heavier tailgate and power window assembly inside, and other components. If you always run your 4 Runner empty in back, a 1” taller rear spring will generally be enough to level it with the front. If you carry spare parts or extra passengers in back we recommend a 2” taller spring than the front.
