Rear Spring Options

Im in the process of installing a JD Fab long travel front end on my 89 pickup. I'm not the original owner of the pickup but the rear suspension appears to be stock. I'm looking for options on the rear to match ride height and travel as my front will have. I don't plan to race this pickup or jump it but the goal is to have a super good riding pickup on rough roads and still be able to use it as a pickup. I do still haul stuff and I even occasionally pull a trailer with it. The pickup does have a flatbed on it so I do have a little more room than probably just a regular pickup to stuff shocks under the bed but I would really rather not cut holes in the flat bed to run shocks through the bed.

Any ideas or advice?
Thanks!

Here's a pic of the pickup to give you an idea of the bed that's on the pickup.

'63 chevy spring swap is your best bet. Otherwise old man emu medium springs should do it.
