Rear Leaf Pack ???

Ok I have a 1990 4Runner with 3" TG front and 4" TG rear leaves. I messed with different shackles and hanger placement, but the rear end still sags with any sort of load. Now I know these leaves are not made to handle much of a load, they are more of a buggy spring. But I just want to get a little more load out of the rear. Here are the options I have though of so far.

#1-Add a leaf
#2-Helper Spring
#3-TG 5" rear springs
#4-Dont load down the runner and live with it

Just wondering if anyone has done either of the first 2 options with TG spring packs and what has worked. Thanks!

Id seriously go with #1 and just add a extra leaf to the pack , I did this to my stock leaf pack and it helped alot..I had an extra set laying around so it didnt cost anything but time .. actually I added 2 leafs but removed one because it was way to stiff..
