rear coils or coil spacers?

i want to correct the rear sag in the back, it seem to be the norm with the 2nd Generation Runner's. i ordered 32x11.50 Bfg's m/t(can't wait!) i know i'll fine with the fitment.
option was just get the coil springs or just the coil spacer?
what would be the pro's and con's?

kEn.

Just installed OME coils on my 92...Good height and ride. Cranked front t-bars up 1" and truck looks good. OME-900 medium coils. Had a 700lb electric motor in the back today and it handled it easily...

I replaced my rear coils and it could still use a "1 spacer.

Im using Eibachs,110 shipped aprox 1'' off lift, they can hold a decent load without dropping much (I had about 600lbs in the back and they sagged about 3/4''). They ride alright I turned up the Tbars also. Im not saying spacers are bad but for not much more you can get the whole spring so I would buy new springs.

I put 2.5 in Downey spacers in the back of my 94 4runner and it looked perfect afterwards. I also extended the brake cable. I got in an accident with that 4runner though and Im starting to part her out now. Well, Im SLOWLY parting her out cause I have to go to court to get my money from the lady that hit me. after I got to court on April 15th I'll sell everything, but for now I want to keep her mostly intact.

Anyways, I'll sell my 2.5 in spacers and brakeline extension for $100 + shipping. Let me know. I can post a pic of the 4runner before the accident with the spacers installed if your interested.
