Another rear sag thread

Well ive been searching around and havent found what im looking for yet so here I am.

Im looking to just eliminate the rear sag on my 95 4runner. Was looking into an OME kit with 2" lift springs and BJ spacers. Decided against this because I think im about to dig into my top end on the 3.slow...

Anyway ive read that the Downey 1.5" coils are the way to go in terms of just coils but isnt Downey now out of business? Im basically looking to just eliminate the sag but also maybe a stiffer spring so when im loaded up with gear 4x4ing Im not dragging my ass. I do not want to go with spacers and would like to leave my torsions alone, a little bit of adjusting would be fine but I dont want to sacrifice my ride quality.

Thanks

do the zuk mod i did it to my 98 tacoma, use to sag a few inches and if i put any extra weight on the rear it would be 1 inch from the bumpstop. I put the zuk mod made the ride a bit stiffer but a million times better then without the springs. Recently i found some air bags for my truck and put them on which for what i use my truck for more is work and carrying an 800lb diesel tank the air bags have worked wonders now but regardless the zuk mod is a really good way to fix your sag and really inexpensive at about $60 shipped.

Buy a set of stock replacement springs and some good quality gas shocks and I bet your sag problem goes away.

FJ80 coils might also work for you.

Yes, but that will help you stay level if the rig is spending most of its time loaded.
