leveling out the runner

as you can see she has that rear sag they all get. What i want to do is level it out and maybe lift it a bit no more than 3" for sure. the only catch is i have to keep it on the cheap $400 tops less is better thanks.

Just buy a new set of some springs for the back it will level it out nicely and it will ride better too.

I'm pretty certain Landbruiser springs will do what you're looking for, but they're probably a little stiff since they're made for a TANK...

I remember reading in some thread just the other day Moog makes a really affordable/quality set that will bring right back to stock height without making the ride too stiff. O'Reilly or Napa will have them.
