Trail Gear VS Marlin Crawler VS All Pro Springs, whats best?

I am looking to buy some 5 inch lift springs for the front of my 1986 toyota 4runner, but don't know what to choose. Well, since the all pro springs are cheap, I jumped to those immediately. Now thinking, which ones are going to last the longest, but I am not going to be wheelin that hard. Its my daily driver, that will see some minor trail time. So what is best? TRAIL GEAR OR MARLIN CRAWLER OR ALL PRO.
Thanks

This has been hashed out just a few times on numerous forums so do some research on your own.

None will just bolt up as they are meant for SFA or SAS not IFS.

It all boils down to personal preference and the rest is BS. I have AP springs on my 85 and I sell TG springs and I have installed some Marlin springs. Not much difference or not enough to make a big deal about.

Keep in mind that all of these springs are soft since they were made with rock crawling in mind.

I have all pro springs. I don't have any problems with them. They have been working great.
