From what I've been told, the rear springs are not very good. With that said, I have spacers in mine that level out my lift and I'm fine with it even if they could be better.
Your best bet are performance product (H&R) rear springs. Be warned though, you may get a raked look (rear higher than the front).

I've installed Airlift Airbags inside the rear coils (install including compressor, in cab guage, etc, was EASY!)...the rear never bottoms out now, (it used to with just two people in the backseat).
Rides a little firmer, but not harsh.
If you buy just the airbag kit (without the compressor and guage) it'll run you around a $100, but if you want the full kit, it'll cost around $300...the basic kit requires you to locate the hoses and valve somewhere under the vehicle (I've installed on the backside of the rear bumper.) I'd recommend springing the extra $$ and have the ability to control the ride from inside the cab.
Aloha!

for lifting the rear by replacing the rear coils, while still using the stock shocks.....i think the only thing out there are the pp springs. they are $199 for the set for the rear.
if you do that, you will gain about 1.25" of lift, and to take care of the raked look, you can get a 1" spacer for the front. that would be easy, and give you 1" up front, and 1.25" in the rear.
or...you can just get used or new oem coils, put them in, and see if they sag again, or if it is just a bad set you have. if they do, then just get the spacer from jason. that would be the cheapest way to go.
