I have been wanting to find out if my 1986 toyota 4wd pickup has 1 ton or 1/2 ton springs. I had a 1987 4runner before, and it wasn't nearly as stiffly sprung as this one is. It will bounce the rear end off the ground when I go over bumpy sections of road, and it won't flex at all (it flexes out entering my driveway, and lifts the right rear tire off the ground). I am sure it needs shocks, but even with the shocks off, I cant get the rear springs to compress (by jumping on the bed). The springs look stock, with the stock rubber bump stops. I don't know if it has to do with the spring type, but it has green paint on the outer leafs under the shackles.

as far as i know there wasnt an option for "1 ton" springs..... they are what they are.... Stock springs with Crappy shocks. get new shocks and wheel hop will go away.

only way to help with your problem...

NEW SPRINGS>.
your riding on the overloads that is why is soooo stiff..

mine is the same way..although i have a little flex..lol

new shocks will help..but the problem will still be your leaf's..

I will probably get some OME springs when I have the cash.

As for shocks, they look pretty bad (front ones are leaking, and all 4 look cheap). I think Rancho RS 5000s would work.
