oem replacement fron springs?

Does anyone knwo where i can get replacement springs with like 1 inch of lift?? i just want the springs to have a slight upward arch instead of a downward ark when there sitting with the wieght of the vehicle on em. I dont really need a full 3 inch suspension lift(dont want to put all those arm extensions and stuff on). just something slighty higher then stock ride height(whatever that is) im down to like 2 inche of travel now and its like driving a go kart with no suspension.

thanks

Check with Mikey (wifesaysimadumbass) he will have some springs available in the next couple weeks from his 4runner.

If the springs from wifesaysimadumbass aren't what you are looking for, I suggest checking out this place: http://www.alcanspring.com/

I don't have any personal experience with them, I only know what is on the website. However, from what I have heard they make springs specifically to what you want and I can't see a 1-2" lift being tough to fill.

OME also has a nice 2" lift spring (http://www.arbusa.com/)

They'll hardly look like a lift at all. This '85 has the OMEs with like a 30-31" tire:

do u have a link to the springs for just the front(that link isnt very descriptive, just says they have leafsprings??? i will do the rear but they dont need it as bad. 2 inch would be fine. woudl i need to do any exntension on any parts or worry about axle angle with those springs? ome is pretty much what i was looking for.

I've used Rocky Road Outfitters for a few lift kit options in the past. They're really helpful if you just give them a call - he may even have some different options for you to consider. BTW, I put an OME suspension systems on one of my old jeeps - best money I ever spent! Made the washboards feel like the highway.
