There are a couple of other things you should look at as well.The width of the spring eyes(will they fit in the stock hangers and shackles?),the bushing diameter(are the spring pins the same size?),the width of the spring where it rests on the axle(will the Toyota u-bolts fit?),spring-over or spring-under,the location of the tie bolt that goes through the leaf-pack(will the axle be too far foward or back?),and also the spring rate.I don't know if a 4" Chevy spring is going to be too stiff or too soft.It all depends on if you have a stock 6 or a V-8(the 6 is actually heavier) and if you have a winch or not.A lot of things to consider because there are a lot of variables.Hope this helps.
