Heavy Duty Leaf Springs
Is there a company out there that makes affordable rear heavy duty leaf springs? Or anyone know of a company that makes brand new stock ones? I dont want ones that will give the rear much of a lift though.

Add a leafs make for a rough ride though. You can add load-helper springs from companies like Hellwig. Northwest offroad does make 2 stage heavy duty springs with no lift, I know of no one else who does.

True.
On the other hand, makes little sense to buy new springs to get no lift.
"HOney, come check out the truck now!"
"YOu spent $500 on...what?!! Looks the same to me..."
If I needed to carry more weight, I would buy auxiliary air bags. Second choice would be load-helpers springs.

I have successfully used www.activesuspension.com kit. The cost was under 300 USD. THey worked beyond my expections with trailers and heavy loads on a 95 toy 4x4 extra cab. Easy to install and never fail.
Suggest you give them a try. I don't think you will regret it.
