Installing used 5" tg leafs

Hey so I have started doing and SAS to my 1988 toyota. It is my first one and i have been tryin to do it and save money where i can. I have bought the 5" TG leaf springs off of a guy in town.

My question is since they are used they should be broken in, so should i install the rear front spring hangers so that they are at the correct angle at the start or should i expect them to sag a bit more, and allow for the sag?

Any information is good since i am moderately new to the automobile world.

So you're putting 5 inch springs in the front and 63's in the rear?
Hope you have some blocks!

So can you bend the 63s to make more lift? Because this guy i know has around 5 inches of lift on his sas truck and its practically even with the 63s in the rear.
