Replcmnt springs for '93 2.4l 4x4 5 spd p/up

Hello all...been reading posts at YT for several months...finally getting around to posting. I have a stock '93 4x4 2.4 5 spd p/up that is mostly stock. Bought it about a year ago. Second yota truck...first one blew head gasket. Anyway, I enjoy my truck, but I hate the rear-end sag when I have a load in the bed. I noticed that I have a broken leaf on the driver's rear (for now held into place via two hose clamps). I want to replace the springs, but here is my dilema. I was going to use NWOR Heavy Duty springs, but upon more research here....sounds like a poor idea. Would I be better off just replacing with stock springs and then doing an add-a leaf for the increased capacity? Or going with custom springs from a local shop? or would toyota 1 ton springs fit? I am not looking for a lift, just increased carrying capacity without rear sag. I haul a fair amount of wood (occupation= tree climber) and I want something HD as I tend to break things. Any advice would be appreciated!

you can get Helper springs for your yota from almost anywhere they mount to your existing springs and "Help" the load capacity , they also level the truck out. their start about $ 100 a pair and go up from there. You can also but New springs from places like www.Downeyoffroad.com, or my choice www.northwestoffroad.com. My springs for my 89 yota were around $ 230 for the pair !

Good Luck
