1985 Toyota pickup

I have leaf springs on them now and i want a little lift i am going to be putting on 33's and the tires rub little i was seeing what spring's would work that i can go to a junck yard and buy and take off of another truck? My truck picture in in my profile and it looks alot diffrent now i need to update the picture but it still has that body and that look.

Chevy 63" springs in the back and put the old back springs in the front and if that is not enough do an additional 1" or 2" body lift cheap and plenty clearance for 33" tires. Hope this helps. Don't forget you might need extended brake lines and maybe a longer driveshaft to make sure the angle are OK.

What Chevy truck does the 63" springs come off of. How much of a lift does it bring.

Around 4 inches.
You'll have to weld on new spring hangers, though.
