Welcome to Yotatech. 
Leaf springs are easier to setup, cheaper to buy and replace and flex well enough for the average wheeler compared to lifting with the stock setup with coils. Coils that tall tend to be unstable and unload on hills.
Here is an example of a 95 4Runner I did at my shop that had a rear leaf spring conversion.
