New springs or airbags???
I have a '95 4runner 4x4 and my rear is squatting all the time even when unloaded and I'm trying to decide whether to just buy new springs, or install airbags.
Any advice would be appreciated.

go springs man. cheaper,easier, and A LOT LESS maintenance. trust me. i come from the world of bagging trucks to lay on the ground. you have to upkeep that stuff. compressors, airline, fittings, the bags themselves, you have to fab bag mounts, mount an air tank, switches, etc... just my two cents

I would just do the springs. Springs is more of a permanent fix and the airbags would be more like a bandaid.

Springs, why change up something that works rather than switching to something complicated
