Rear Leaf Options?

Quick question.... my 88 4runner has the tipical 4runner rear sag and I'm looking for a solution. It's currently on 5" blocks so I want to avoid adding shackles too. I don't have cash for new springs so:

Does any one know a suitable replacement leafspring I can get from the junkyard that will work for my truck? any options and modification info would be great

thanks

where are you located? i have a full set of springs with an add-a-leaf that i took off my '89. they're way too heavy to ship, but if you live close to longmont, co, then i'm happy to trade them for a case of good beer.

http://www.AllProOffroad.com/ and http://www.MarlinCrawler.com/ should both have rear lift springs, or for a custom spring, try http://www.AlcanSpring.com/

you might want to go with the chevy spings its a cheap upgrade and well worth it. if you do go wtih the chevys then you are looking for 1988-1998 chevy 1/2 ton rear leafs. 2wd is better than 4wd as far as flex wise but both work fine
