procomp has a part number 33111 (33311?) which is a 48" long, 4" lift spring. I've got a set on my 4runner, but haven't tried to flex it yet- still driving around town to get them to settle in. they've been on there for 4 months and the truck has only gone 100 miles.

IMO there are no 4 inch springs that offer great flex and ride (that are stock length)
Anything over about 2-3 inches is arched too much....flex springs are flatter and longer.
MY only recommendations might be Alcan or OME....
personally I would just go with some 2 inch spring...though the options for those are somewhat limited as well (Downey comes to mind but every pair I have seen has bent bad)
What size tires are you running? typically, a 4 inch spring = clearance for 36+" tires
