Upgrade SS1.2 rear help

On first major vacation in the 4runner. When I put on the cbi rear bumper there was a little sag. Now that it's loaded up there is about a 4" drop. Out here in Wyoming it has bottomed out many times. Obviously I'm going to have to upgrade when I get back.

I figured there might be an offroad store in Utah that we could stop by on the way home. Will I need to upgrade springs along with the springs?? Any ideas on what to get?? I have sent 4cawler an email but have not heard back yet.
Thanks

One option would be to install helper air bags inside the rear coil springs. if you need more support, just air the bags up

Look into OME 851 or 861 for the rear with that much weight. That should level you out or even slight rake.

Have you contacted Sonoran Steel for suggestions?

I never got your e-mail. If your shocks are shot replace them, the black shocks will work a lot better with all the weight, I would use the air bags because when your unloaded you can adjust the ride back to smooth. With those other coils it will ride rough unloaded.
