Getting frustrated with my rear suspension

About a month ago i bought a 02 sr5 and once i drove it for a little and was able to look past the excited "ohh i got a new 4runner" stage and i realized that there was something weird with my rear suspension. I looked and realized i had less then 1/2in of up travel before i come down on the bump stops. So i figured i know the guy towed a small trailer for his motorcycle and the springs are just saggy. I was able to get a hold of some 97 rear coils from a member on the forums. knowing the 02 sits lower then other year i figured this would be just fine. Well i got them in and it didnt do a thing....still riding on the bumps. Its making ride very bouncy and not absorbing any bump at all. Anyone have any ideas on why the new springs didnt do anything? Im trying to save up to get a OME lift im almost there but its still a few months away and i just found out need to get a new head light mount...found out that is broken today :bash: In the mean time what would you suggest i do to get the rear up a little, its a good 1/2in -1in lower then front too. i was thinking i could get some 1 in spacers for relatively inexpensively? Could i just take the cone bumps out of the rear for a few months?

As far as weight in the back, I currently ~80lbs just some tools. But in roughly 3 weeks im going to be packing my dorm room in to the back and its gonna be loaded really heavy so i would rather not be riding that low from chico down to LA.

Thanks.
