3rd gen Tacoma TRD Off Road suspension swap - What rear springs should I get?

2007 4Runner Sport 4WD V8

I'll be ripping out the XREAS and installing some front springs/shocks from a
2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road with less than 5k miles on them. I'll also be adding 3/8" top hat spacers from Wheelers Off Road.

From what I have read, the Tacoma springs/shocks give around 2.0-2.25 inches lift and the top hat spacers around .5" lift for a total of approximately 2.5-2.75 inches.

I'd like to level it out but don't mind a tiny bit of rake. No heavy bumpers and don't usually carry heavy loads. Daily driver, occasional light offroading.

I saw some used Icon 2 inch rear springs (part# 158506) locally but they have been replaced by a new part number and I can't find much info on them. I wanted to do a full dobinsons set up, but its not in the budget right now and came across the tacoma parts cheap.

Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions for the rear springs???

I have seen where others have done this swap (without the top hat spacers) have used the Bilstein B12 1.8" and are sitting pretty much level. So thinking I may need a spring that give right at 2 inches of lift.

Does anyone know of such a spring? Any input is welcome.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I came across some used Icon springs I'm considering. I believe Toytec makes some as well. I just want to make sure I don't have a lot of rake....or too high in front.

I did this swap, no front added spacer and put a 1.5" spacer in the rear of my factory springs and there is still rake. So much that I'm going to put a 1" spacer in the front to try and level it out
