Go with the Espo springs that others use here and get the 1" over stock height.  
 

A lot of this is a mtter of taste, but personally speaking I think the stock springs that I got from ESPO raised the rear a little too much. ESPO was great to deal with, and this is not their problem, but I'd be careful about going too far over the stock arch unless you're sure that that's what you want.

I would say that your second picture is too high.   Is that the Espo Stock, or +1" or +2"?

Here is a picture of mine with the new springs but raised an inch with my air shocks. The new springs were about the same height as my old 35 year old springs.

That is ESPO stock, or at least that is what it was supposed to be. I put in two position hangers at the same time, and I may use that to drop them down and see how that works.

I noticed that the car sat about 1" higher when installed and then sagged back to stock height after about a month or two. I'm happy with them, though.  People on this site seem to like Espo, though.
