sagging, rough riding rear?

Hello-
My 1st gen has the typical rear end sag and rides rougher than a lifted Jeep. I know I can replace the springs with new stock ones, but won't that still give me a crappy ride? Anyone have suggestions for getting a stock ride height (maybe a little higher) and a softer ride? What would happen with longer chevy leaves? More wheel travel is always welcome. I am on a very limited budget, so something from the salvage yard is acceptable. Thanks all!

I put a 2inch add-a-leaf in my saggy truck and it leveled it out and the ride was a lot better. The Add-a-leaf does all the work in the little bumps because the saggy leafs don't do anything anymore. Make sure you put in in the pack not at the bottom. This is the cheapest way to go. Like 75$ and some new U bolts.
