So what do you recomend to fix a soon to be very saggy suspension?

$$$

There's cheap and there's right, and the 2 don't come together very often...

You need to figure out how much lift you need, then we can offer more sugestions...

if you want cheap just throw some blocks between the axle and leaf spring. Get some lift for cheap that way.

It depends on how much its gonna sag from bumpers made out of 3/16 or a 1/4" steel. Similar to the ARB bumper. I beleive i want about 2-3" but keep a 31" tire and it not look to stupid.

You're just going to have to put the bumpers on and see how much you need, lift blocks will fatigue the springs faster and sag prematurely... and you will loose any lift you gained. Unless you go with stupid 3 inch blocks, which in my opinion are scary and dangerous, cause I doubt that worn out springs could sag another 3 inches without breaking.... No blocks is best, I could see maybe 1 inch... but blocks aren't good.

Swap/trade the cruiser axles/diffs for locked 4.88 or 5.29 mini diffs (for free). Cut some sheet metal (for free) and or throw on a 3" body lift which will allow you to lift the motor and tcase for a flat belly (mostly your labor and some steel).
Check out 4 crawler for a little info.
