a couple of things...new cluth and some rear coils for my '95

Okay guys I got some good news and some bad news. I'll start with the bad first, my stock clutch with 210k miles in my 4runner is on it's last leg and needs to be replaced soon. The good, I got some extra cash and am willing to get the job done right, along machining the flywheel, and chaning the rear main seal. Also some other good news is that I'll be finally installing a rear coil lift for my 4runner to get rid of the sag.

The Clutch:
Yeah it's going, it slips in 3rd and 4th gears. The rig is still drivable but I do about 300 miles or so of driving a week so I need to get a new clutch in there soon. After doing a ton of research I've concluded that the OEM Clutch Replacement Kit will be the best option for my application. I'm not a wheeler as much I would like and basically use my rig for daily driving duties so the price for the stock kit and the fact that'll it last is good enough for me.
Question for you fellas, how much is the labor rates for a clutch replacement?I'm just looking for a rough estimate.

The Rear Coils:
I'm going to finally get rid of the rear sag in my rig and would like some feedback on how much it will actually lift the rig. Okay so if I go with something like the Downey Rear 1.5" HD Coils will it bring me back to stock ride height or a little above. I really don't want to get the 3" lift but maybe it'll be worth it.
Some input please. I posted a couple of pics so you guys can give me an idea of how it'll look after I install the coils.

The sag doesn't look as bad as most...My 1.5" Eibach coils lifted the rear slightly above stock.

Nice looking rig - mine is the same color. What size tires are you running?

Thanks. Doesn't look that bad empty but put some people and gear in the back and the rig sags.
I'm running 33" tires on 15" Rock Crawlers.

1.5's will bring you back to stock height or slightly better, IMO. Picks of my Runner before and after are on my old thread:
