Thoughts on drop amount and spring brand

I have used CPP Modular drop spindles and 1” drop springs. Depending on what source you use, the spindles are 2” or 2 1/2” so I should have 3 - 3 1/2” drop in the front. I have not set up the rear yet as I was waiting to match it to what my ride height looked like when finished. Taking some measurements and basing on what the rake looks like, I have about that amount of difference from the front to the rear.

That being the case, what would you run for a rear spring? I don’t want to end up rear end lower and if it were just slightly higher I wouldn’t mind. I just don’t want it looking like a cat in heat like it does now. I also want a good spring that will not completely collapse with the slightest weight in the bed.

Ill take any and all suggestions. Much appreciated for the advice.
