I had same question. It appears the rears aren't as big a difference as the fronts. You won't really be able to tell the lean when you put rears to fronts and throw in new rears.

the height difference of most rear ome springs is 10mm - if you are really worried throw a 10mm spacer on the ps spring (they're about $10) and all you worries go away....

Bumpstops?

With 235/85s I had a the occaisional rubbing in the rear right wheel well--there against the back plate that protects the fuel pipes. Under Josh Weinstein's recommendations I went with the Daystar KUO 9014 3-1/2" bumper stops. To install, remove the existing bracket, take a wood chisel and chop of the old rubber bumpstop from the bracket, drill hole in center of bracket to accomodate new bumpstop, INVERT bracket and bolt bumpstop to braket, replace complete bracket on vehicle. This is a 20min job. You invert the bracket to gain a little more height. These bumpstops are not solid and will compress quite a bit so they are not really 3-1/2" tall. This previous weekend with a very heavy load, I noticed it rubbed once. Now I am thinking about putting a 3/4" spacer between the bracket and frame. YOu could of course order the longer bumpstops. I thuink they come in 4-1/2" too

This guy gave me good price on the bumpstops.
