Air bags for my first gen 4runner

So my 1988 4runner has that sad sag in the back. I was wondering about airbags for it. I find them all over the place for trucks of this vintage but not for 4runners. I thought they were all the same!?! That being said, are air bags the way to go to just level it, or is an add a leaf better? I have heard that add a leafs make the ride really stiff. I haul my kids around in the back all the time and want a better ride even if I have to pay more for and air bag system.

Thanks for your help!

ZUK mod, use a shorter spring so you get the rig level instead of lifted.

Get your springs re-curved or pick up a set of Old Man Emu's.

My 4runner has completely sagged out rears, and has 4" blocks, it sits level, rides and flexes good because the springs are basically flat.
