If I were you since it seems that your leafs are sagging, is get some new or used leafs that don't sag than do your AAL or just buy the lift with new leaf springs.

Go to a junkyard get a set a rear spring from either an S-10 or Dakota. Then mix/match a Bastard Pack for the rear, yield 1.5-4" of lift. Buy springs or spacers for the front to match, $30 for 2" spacer to $120 for new lifted coils.
