Helper springs for 84' 4runner?

[Spud]

My springs front & rear are totally flat. This is an 84' 4runner that has been worked pretty hard hauling loads.

Have any of you ever used helper springs? I'm thinking of that as a cheap fix. Any suggestions on a decent set?

I dont drive the truck on road hardly, mostly always on dirt roads or snow and usually in 4wheel.

If you are low on funds, and are planning to pull the leaf pack apart any way, have you thought about re-arching them in your bearing press?

I was thinking like this, 1/2 way down the page, helper springs:

Would these "lift" the body up a bit? Or are they a waste of time?

Those might help a little, I'd look for the full length style, not the 2 piece as that's not going to work as well....

Maybe an Add a leaf?

Or the Zuk add a coil:

That looks like the ticket...
I checked out the link, Thanks.

Any idea where I could get springs like that? I saw no info on the site to purchase.

Probably JCWhitney or a large auto suplier like that.... I think I'll be going with helper coils too at some point.

Or you could send Zuk a PM, he just joined Mud a few weeks ago under the name gearinstalls.com I think.

Thanks for all that man...
