So the front springs on my 82 Pu are saggin real bad. Anyone got any suggestions for any cheap replacement springs w/o too much lift? I plan on doing a build up down the road so I just need a temporary fix for now. Any opinions on rancho rs305 3'' springs?

The lift shackles will improve my ride height a bit right?  Should the add-a-leafs help improve the reverse arched springs at all?  So where would be a good place to score some add-a-leafs for a decent price?

I'd be interested to see what you find. My front springs are practically reverse-arched at this point. My stock ride height on my '83 is plenty high for me so I'm not looking for a lift, just want springs up front that have better ride quality than what I'm getting with springs that are beyond flat.

Toyota front springs originally were flat, or nearly so, to begin with.  The idea was to make the ride quality better.

Hmm. Did it, I wonder? That does make me feel a bit better, though.
