3" or 4" drop in rear with 2" front lowering coils

I've got a 70' C-10 2wd Stepside that I'm converting to disc brakes and using 2" lowering coils on the front. Have you used 3" or 4" in the rear? Will be replacing entire front suspension but probably not rear other than coils so it's likely to be original.

I would use a 4" drop spring to level out the rear of the truck.

Thanks, I was thinking 4". Just wanted some other opinions since I'm a novice in this area.
