because i have blocks in the rear and i was told that 63 inch chevys give you 4 inches. probably because a stock toyota spring has no arch in it and im guessing that the chevy ones have arch

meh, not really...they are actually a pretty flat spring....the flatter the spring the more flex you get.....more arch = less flex = rougher ride....

The chevys give about 2 inches of lift by themselves over stock

ah so then a set of chevys and a longer shackle will get you the 4in you are after for about 240 bucks not bad for a rear kit

Most people that run Chevys run one or two inch blocks to even out the lift on the front.....

The 4 inches usually comes from the one or two inch blocks underneath (which is fine in MOST cases....but can cause sever wrap if not set up properly) Most people that run this set up are trying to match their lift on the front when they do a solid axle swap....

It might be very possible to do just the springs (no blocks) and have it match your front IFS lift...you would have hella flex in the rear!
