When a spring is listed at 3.5 or 4.5 or 2, it is the amount of lift you
can expect 'above' stock.

A 3.5" lift spring will jack the rear end wayyyy up there.

Why not just get another set of stock springs? They are 'usually' the
strongest out there. If you go to a spring shop, they can even change
out one or more of the stock leafs to make it a 'heavy duty' spring set.
