Rear spring help !!

Alright, i have posted a question about leveling my '96 standard cab, but no replies, and I have searched before I posted and could not find any answers. I have replaced both sides upper/lower ball joints and new billy 5100's, set on the 2.5 lift. My original leafs are flat at best, actually the arch is a bit inverted, so i am wanting to replace them ASAP, my question is, do I replace with stock, as I understand the stock leafs caused the rear to be about 2" higher than the stock front and now with the new frt. shocks would the truck sit "level" with oem leafs, or do I purchase a lifted spring to get it back level? presently the frt. is about 3.25 inches higher. Where is a good place to get oem style springs if, that is what y'all suggest? And if lifted springs are in order, how much lift and what's the best brand? Thanks in advance-Mark

I cant answer this question for you because i never had an IFS lift before i SAS'd, but i would most definitely recommend old man emu springs if you're going with stock style. You should PM your question to Chefyota4x4. I know he had a small 2.5 or 3" lift on his truck before he SAS'd. He'd probably be able to answer better then I.
