4 Runner rear suspension help

Hello,
I have a 1991 4 Runner with a 5 inch rough country lift. My problem is the coils in the rear are too soft and cause tons of body roll and the rear end sags even with a small snowmobile trailer on it. I am just wondering if anyone knows of any companies offering stiffer coils for lifted vehicles or any advice on a possible rear leaf conversion for the 4 runner. Any help is greatly appriciated.

Although I don't know of any stiffer coils I will advise against a leaf spring conversion. Leaf springs will sag over time.

FJ80 coils are a popular lift coil for the 4runners. Search and decide for yourself.

LC coils are known for being extreamly soft. Bad choice for towing.
