There is a lot on this subject.  I dont think you are limited by the type/year of the springs you use to attain lift/flex.  You are limited by the width of the spring itself (toys are 2.36'')..ive heard of people putting jeep springs in with toy springs to get a desired lift/flex combo.

Here is a link to toy springs sizes
