87 4runner ZUK mod question

Ok, i hav customary sagging rear end common on most 1st gen runners. What springs do you guys recommend for doing the ZUK mod? I know i have read where 12 to 13 inches is generally what people are using, but as far as brand and where you get them, any suggestions?

Very happy with the Black Magic Springs (Ebay) 12-inch 120-Lb/inch rating base on above. Had to cut top stop but no problem.

ZUK himself did the work on my 4Runner about 7 or 8 years ago while I had it over at his shop getting a Detroit locker install. I still have the same setup and it works great! I have the 12", 120lb Black Magic Springs

And this setup does not produce too much rake. No need to crank torsion bar. This is on stock 1986 manual tranny 4 Runner.
