Chevy spings with 235 tires ??

I have a 91 4X4 regular cab that currently has 31" tires on it. I really like the looks of the 31's but for my needs of on road only and occasionally towing a single axle trailer with ATV's or snowmobiles I feel the gearing of the 235's and the lighter rotating weight will be the best compromise of gearing for towing and fuel milage. In order to get a little better ride quality out of my toyota I have thought about installing 63" chevy springs for better ride and lift the front (ball joint spacers + crank the torsion bars if needed) to level it out. Is it correct that the chevy springs will raise it approximately 3" ??? I am afraid with those little 235" and 3" lift it will look like a monster truck with those little loader tires they use to transport them???
Any suggestions on how goofy this will look??? should I consider a larger tire size or stick with 235's and stock rear springs??

Or just get some stock springs instead of the chevy springs.
I've got chevy leafs in my truck, the 235's would look small for sure.
If you stick to the stock springs and the smaller tires, it'll look just fine.
