Dude, a 4" longer top leaf doesn't do ANYTHING to the ride height of the truck or give the suspension any more leway before the axle hits the frame if the arch is the same as a shorter spring (which in my case the 56" top spring had LESS of a arch than the factory 52" top spring).

The only advantage in my case for the longer top spring is a little more stiffness while actaully providing a better ride quality which is why GM switched ALL full size trucks to a rear 56" top spring with the new body style in '88 ('92 on K5/Burbs).
