thanks guys all of these were super helpful...so after reading these this is my plan:

Main leaf: 83 toyota rear main
Second leaf: 83 toyota mil rap leaf
Third leaf: second leaf from skyjacker 4 inch lift springs w/ re-drill (non mil rap)
Fourth leaf: bottom skyjacker leaf from 4 inch lift w/ re-drill
and then maybe a anti-rap leaf!
what do you guys think??? most of the packs i saw were 5 leaf packs but w/ those still skyjacker leaves i figured i wouldnt need a 5th leaf!!!

Try it and see. If too low, add a leaf. I think I first tried 5 leaves, that was too low so added a 6th to keep the springs from sagging. Mine are all stock leaves, though, so YMMV.

I initially ran a 2" longer than stock shackle to accommodate the 2" longer than stock springs:
