New rear coils? sag?

Hey guys, I just got my truck from a friend. It has a Skyjacker 2.5" lift on it from what she told me... It has the stock rear springs and some big pucks in there. I was wanting to replace the whole thing with a full spring and also fix the rear sag that I have. Can anybody recommend what springs to get that will replace the stock spring and puck and will raise it up too?

Thanks for your help!

See recent pic...

I believe Old Man Emu selling springs that give a 2" lift, and they are known to be a company that sells great products so i would start there. I am sure there are multiple options available to you though.

If you do some searching around on the forum (i would recommend searching for "lift" and going through everything), you should get a pretty comprehensive list of everything available haha.

I think I see the stock skidplate down there...maybe it's skyjacker shocks, but that doesn't look high enough to be a bracket lift, and bracket lifts are 4" generally. The Land Cruiser coils should probably do the trick, but it'd still be a good idea to figure out what all has really been done to lift the front so you can go about matching the rear to the front or the front to the rear.

Do you mind the ride now? If it happens to be a little stiff for what you'd like, you could look into ball joint spacers and you could loosen the torsion bars a little bit. If you're mostly into mud, like your picture would suggest, you might like the front just the way it is, but if you do any trail or rock wheeling, I'd highly advise the ball joint spacers. I think you'll end up with a pretty decent rake if you leave the front as is and install Cruiser coils, too.
