SAS swap rear spring problems

Hey I did an SAS on my 1990 toyota pickup and want to eliminate the blocks I have in the rear. I went with chevy 56" springs with the sky's manufacturing drop shackles and a 3" IFS eliminator from trail gear up front, and the front sits way higher than the rear. I was thinking of just purchasing 4" chevy 56" lift springs in the rear to even it out without blocks. any other suggestions?

Your front springs will settle a little, but not much. Could try taking a leaf out, or getting shorter springs in the front. Besides that, taller rear springs may be your best option.

How do you like the drop shackles. Any issues with them unloading on the road or while wheeling?

I need to stick with the chevy 56's since i already have the mounts. The front springs really haven't settled yet and its been awhile. And the drop shackles are sweet, gives you a lot more articulation and they're super strong.
