Re: rear spring ? what to use ? need help

hey everone
i'm looking at rear spring to put on the 83 truck i got and need help . i know ford f-150 or chevy 63 or what to use can the group help me out ?

I don't really like the 63" chevys because they are LONG..  I hit more rocks than I like with them.  I used the sky kit(pic of aaronb) and the front spring hanger will catch/stop me on rocks.  (it ramps up to steep, need to french them in)  I went with them because they were "Cheap" compaired to other lifts.  If I were to do it again, I'd pick a shorter spring and french in the front hanger (or make a longer ramp) 

Ive seen the 56" chevys in action and love those (on full size, one tons)  Haven't seen the fords, and most *new* springs need alot of break in time.

Almost all these set ups will need a antiwrap bar of some sort once you start attempting waterfalls.
