maybe I should go with 2 or 3 inch lift chevies?
That would defeat the whole purpose of this spring swap. The reason why people do this swap is because the springs can be had cheap from a junkyard and they provide good results. If you are going to spend money on aftermarket springs, get some springs from someone like Marlin or Allpro that are designed for your Toyota.

I'm guessing that by the time I finnish with this, including what my time is worth, I could have just bought some AllPro or Marlins and have been done with it.
Oh well, I'm in it now.
In the process of swapping the shocks now...

I am assuming that you had some sort of lift spring or a lift block (or both) or something is definately not right with those springs. My rear chevys lifted the rear of my 4Runner about 3" with the Chevy shackles. Because I did an SAS, the front was about 5" taller. So to compensate in the rear, I made some longer shackles, and I added a 2" lift block.
