Rear leaf springs advice

I know this topic has been beat to death but I have what I believe to be Allpro 56” springs the long travel 3" or 4” lift. I had planned to use them to level out the saggy butt however; I didn’t realize how much fabrication was involved… Now, I’m considering 63” Chevy spring. After searching and reading a lot of posts am I to believe that the Chevy springs are the better option? The Allpros might lift me too high.

Opinions and supporting evidence please, if available.

Thanks

Are you putting them on a truck with a stock front end?

Sorry

It's an 89 4runner IFS stock front. I hear that the Chevy springs lift about 3" and the allpros were bought for a truck so the topper weight might keep the lift from being too high but i realy don't know. I'm going Chevy unless you change my mind. Of course that will require me to get another set of springs though.
