fyi trail gear rear leafs end up totaling 4.5-5" of lift when installed.
most aftermarket options will net 1.5-2" higher than the spring size due to relocating the hangers and using loner shackles
a way to go would be to french the hangers to lower the height and run a shorter shackle
here is my 81 with 2" of lift and 33s and you can see it doesnt sit very tall so going with a 4"total lift wouldnt hurt but I do agree lower is better
