can't decide 901 or lc 80 coils

hey guys, i have read almost every thread on this site and many more about lift options for my 90 4runner. i have decided to get the bj spacers and go with 33 x 10.5. i also plan on getting the a arm brace for the front and all the extra hardware to make sure the rear axle is centered right. the only part i'm on the fence about are the rear coils. based on what i have read the 901 coils are great and will level the 4runner well with the bj spacers but some people seem to preferred the lc 80 coils even though they will lift the rear end up higher then the 901 coils.
my question: will the 901 coils settle a lot over time sagging my rear end again?
will the added lift from the lc 80 coils be very significant? i've searched for pictures but haven't found many with lc coils and just bj spacer (no t-bar crank up)
What are peoples preferences? 901 or lc 80 coils

i just want to make the right choice the first time

also i do have a 90 with the spare hanging off the back i don't think it add too much weight on the back end but i'm not sure.

thanks

If I get my truck back before the weekend and my ball joint spacers get here on time I'm going to try some 3" springs (suspect they are 80 series LC) with some 100 series shocks. I'll post up some pics with the BJ spacers before I crank the torsion bars.
I suspect the back wheel arch will sit slightly higher than the front.

yea i think with the 80 series LC coils it will sit a little higher in the back, but i guess that when it is loaded it should be relatively level

LC coils are too high IMO even loaded. The OME coils look better and perform well.
