Rear Lift Leaf Springs, Any Ideas?

Im looking for some 1" rear lift leaf springs and so far all i have found is the ones at customsuspension.com. Does anyone know of any others or anywhere else I can get some that may be more affordable?

+1, you'd be better off just getting a 1" block or getting a shackle, springs would settle.

Well, if you need to get 1", buy stock springs. They'll bring your ride height back up.

Yep. if the rear's sagging, new stock springs will bring it right back up, otherwise lengthened shackles may do the deed. check out 4Crawler's site- www.4cralwer.com
... or maybe even air shocks.

Did the zuk mod on my 86 runner. Leafs were almost arched in the opposite direction. Mod brought it up to just over stock and when all was said and done it only cost me $90

Well i went ahead and ordered some OME 2" lift springs, well see how that works out. I guess if worst comes to worst i can always take a leaf out and at $206 shipped for both springs I couldnt really pass that up!
