What rear springs will I need to even my truck out?

I got my 67 up and going and it has 72 running gear. PO of the donor 72 stated the lowering setup was from POL. He said front was lowered a total of 3.5" (w/2.5 spindles and 1" springs) and the rear a total of 5"(2" blocks/3" springs). Tires are (F)255/50R17 and (R)275/50R17s. What do I need to level my truck out?

Here is a pic of my truck:

How is the front lowered 3.5 with 2.5? Get 4" springs for the rear

Wow, those 4" springs made a big difference. From the two photos you posted it almost looks like going from the 3" springs to the 4" springs was more than a one inch drop.
