rear suspension sag

So i've been seeing a lot of 4runners around (mine included) that have a slightly lower rearend. so the car leans backward due to sagging rear suspension. not sure if it's the shocks or springs but since it's not bottoming out, i'm guessing its the springs. i'd like to fix this before i haul some stuff back to az later this summer.

First off, the sag is due to the springs, right? Second, what would you guys recommend for new springs? or is there some way of tightening the springs so i wouldn't have to buy new ones.

thanks!

I used a procomp add a leaf because $$$ was tight. Got it off eBay on the cheap. It made it more stiff, but that's cool with me, it's a 4runner not a caddilac. But there are other meathods and as you will soon learn EVERYONE has their own idea of how it should be done.

it depends on what year truck you have... if its before 1990, you need a AAL, if its 90-95 you need new coil springs.... search Downey HD, OME 901s (i think) or LC / Land Cruiser Coils
