what do you think about my rear [suspension]
i recently acquired an 89 1st gen 4runner which came with a bracket lift up front. the rear however is on blocks, the spring packs are flat, and the shocks are obviously shot. so 3 strikes and its out. what do you guys think I should stick on there to get it back up again (without blocks)?
there's a stipulation though I use a motorcycle carrier in the 2" receiver to haul my dirtbike around (about 235lbs out a couple feet from the bumper). the ride right now is terrible. what are my options within a reasonable price range? HD springs? air shocks? air bags?

You can ditch the blocks and use 14" x 125 lb/in rated coils

The ride quality should be so much better. Of course, if you do this you'll have to supply us with pics...before and after. A shot of the underside showing the existing blocks would be interesting...
