1987 Looking to get rid of that old saggy rear end look. Who makes the best replacement rear springs & where's the best place to buy them?

I'm glad I clicked on that link I too was going to suggest chevy springs. You can get kits from many of the fab companies specifically designed for the job. I'm doing it right now and you can pick up some junkyard springs for $75. Way cheaper than any other option accept ZUK or add a leafs....

Old Man Emu makes great suspension parts, but pricey.

just did mine last October, new leaf packs and torsion bars from North West Offroad factory fit and rated at 750 lbs over stock. No sag, no welding, and rides great, and done in and hour!

For a while there I felt like I walked into a Steak House and ordered a salad.

Down the road I plan on building the Truck up. For now I need a reliable daily driver that I can also take hunting up in the hills on the weekend. So I'm just trying to replace and do mild upgrades for now. I think Ill go the NW Offroad Kit. I'll call them on monday and update with info and pics of before & after. Thanks for info.
