Rear Springs for My 88

Hey I was looking for a good company to purchase springs from,I don't want to have to relocate my spring perches. I want stock to 3" lifted spring pack.
I don't want any saggy bottom,the current springs are flat.They are stockers though.
any help would be appreciated,I would just install and add a leaf but I don't think it could rearch the stock spring pack and if it could I think that it would sag quickly.

Here is the carnage. I broke/sheared off a tooth on the ring gear, I was in the mt's when this happened of course. It sounded like I lost my rear drive shaft(which has happened while I was doing 85mph down the interstate!) she got me back to civilization though like normal.It had been going out for a while,so it wasn't completely unexpected. So I'm going all out and fixing it all.

Rancho Softride adda leaf s WILL rearch the spring pack - but only about 1-2".

Id try Marlin or a local spring shop - (see Yellow pages)
Basically they will take all the leafs out but the main and then add leafs to do what YOU want it to....

Alcan can build you a 3" lift pack to fit the stock hangers:

Or you can get 3", stock length springs from most any off road shop. May not have the ride and flex of the Alcan spring, but likely 1/2 the cost.

I have OME springs from TRDparts4u.com they lift it about 2.75" and ride very well. Also fit the stock hangers.

I have the rancho soft ride in my 4runner, and its a good kit. I removed one leaf and added the two new ones. If i were to do it over i would have kept all my leafs then added the soft ride leafs.
