Here's the issue...
After adding over an inch to the original stack, and some rearching to match.
Now I need to move rear hangers forward, on the rear springs.
Or find longer milwraps @26-7/8"-27 front eye spacing and 28-30" rear...
Thinner the better.
Ome lists nothing in specs.
Pass on failgear.
Besides this list below whatcha got?

Before I go longer overall length :homer: cuz yea...I'm dumb and this setup is really a good matchup...

I'm confused on what you actually need.

Front or rear axle?

I have some OME Toyota leafs here I can measure

Also, isn't trail gear made by bets like all pro and marlin were?

Please do.

The first gen taco I had was fitted with t.g. lift springs.
They sagged and were awful soft.
I don't know who makes what.
I'm happy with the bastard pack's.
2 more inches to the rear would cure this.

If it worked well before you added leafs, it will still work well. They have more arch now, so the shackle should be more upright.
 
Yep spring rate is good, the 90 degree shackle is a bit bouncy in back.
I already got longer shackles and don't want any more lift.

What does the angle look like when the spring is fully compressed?

It's more bouncy because you added leafs, not because of the angle.

What I'm saying is that there is no magic angle for all springs. Springs with more arch will typically need a more upright angle, otherwise it could possibly get stuck on the frame.

If you want longer shackles, you'd need to go through the frame
 
All true points.
I don't have the kinda weights to bumpstop the rear springs to see angle, but the shackles are @ 1200 O"clock and 600 O'clock... This is not optimal me thinks.
Uptravel is @ 4".
The last thread with math here on setting up the hangers done with arch and shackle lengths showed me in " not good" zone.
