96 Runner spring sag

I have a question. I picked up this 96 4runner awhile ago. Replaced the front with fabtech coilovers 2.5" and trailmaster struts. I adjusted the fabtech up to see if i could even it up and it still sags. The springs in the back are skyjacker. The back ends sags maybe a inch or two. When i examined the back springs the left one was off and was not inserted into the top. I had to use a bar to move it back in place. Are there spacers you can use on the top of the spring to lift it? I was reading the other posts about downey springs and a lot of people use them. New springs or can i use spacers? I don't know how old the springs on the back are. I am also waiting for 7100 bilsteins shocks to come for the rear so i would like to work on the springs when i install them. If you look at my avatar ( picture ) you can see what i mean. Help me out.

Thanks

this might fix your problem...

I'm selling them and used them for less than a year. They were from a revtek 3" kit. I measured them and found they are only 2" spacers. Not sure why they did that. They would put your rear level if not a tad over your front

get some OME or LC springs for the rear and the necessary spacer size to make it sit level.
The higher you go the worse it gets with stock springs on a 3rd gen.
