Rear overload spring for a front end lift

First off, I know that I've seen info on this somewhere in here but it's my lunch hour and I don't have much time to look at more than 3 pages of search results.

Anyway, I've got a 79 250 4wd w/ 4" superlift springs in the front. Right now the rear of the truck is about 2" higher than the front and I was thinking of adding the factory overload springs that I took off of the rear to add the front spring packs.Anyone have guess on how much lift could be obtained? Hoping for 2" but no more that that.

Even a link to some info would be great.

Thanks

I don't know how much lift they'll give you so this is pretty much a worthless post by me but personally I like the back to sit 1-2" higher than the front. A little rake looks good on them and then when you're hauling some junk it sits about level instead of looking like it's sagging. My truck is level right now and I'll be taking the rear up about 2" more pretty soon here just to get that rake.

I dunno I can tolerate the ride it right now, I figure that it's worth a shot for the cost of center bolts, if I don't like it I can always go back.
