Junkyard butt-sag fix?

Is there a cheaper alternative to the downy springs I hear everyone going on about that I can buy at a junkyard? Perhaps from a newer Toyota truck with a towing package or something?

Thanks,
Sam

I jacked my truck up at the frame until the tires were off the ground (suspension fully extended), sprayed the hell out of the rust between all the leafs, then left it that way for a week. I liberally greased between all the leafs then dropped it back down--no butt sag!!

since you have a 4runner you will probibly have coil springs.

Go buy some cheap coil spacers.

take a measurement of diameter, and length, and a few good pics, and try to find something to fit, if you've got the time

Will land cruiser coils do the deed? Give the 1.5ish inch lift required to reduce that butt-saggy, road-wandering, wet-diper look?

Thanks, but I'd like the heavier load capacity that comes with upgrading the springs.
