What are my options for my '89 daily driver? Would like to eliminate the rear sag while maintaining a comfy ride. Thanks in advance for the suggestions

The quickest & cheapest thing I can think of is adding a set of coil springs to the rear end.
There is a thread somewhere on this. I think he used Grand Cherokee springs. You'll have to do a search.....
I used left over 97 4Runner rear springs for mine, but they are a bit too tall. They were free to me, so that is what I used.

Spend some money. get your factory springs re arched (tell the guy how much taller you want to ride) and have them add a few leafs. buy some quality shocks.
This will cure your sag, improve your ride, in crease load capacity, and add suspension travel. I used Rancho RS 5000 shocks. I think I'm in $250 but it has added capability beyond just looks.
here is before and after pics.

I'm not so happy with mine. I used 125 pound 14 inch springs, and they set my back end way too high, without actually increasing my load cap at all, I still sag when I'm loaded for camping. Very soggy things, too.
When I have the money to do it right, I'll re-arch with an extra leaf, or buy OME.

re arching will re sag , add a leaf or a new spring pack is the best way
