Rear spring replacement 2015 TRD Pro?

Is it possible to maintain the existing shocks in the back and just swap in a heavier spring?

I replaced my front OEM springs (which had both broken) with #650 springs and they are working well, but the rear is now lower than the front.

I'd like to do something similar in the rear, as cost effectively as possible.

Thanks in advance for the help.

yes you can swap out the rear springs and keep the existing shocks.

Thanks for the reply. Any recommendations either in terms of parts or suppliers? I'm looking a heavier spring to support rear load better, that will match the OEM height of the 650# pair I put up front.

dobinsons would be an excellent choice
