Rear sage and ome general questions

[obxfunrunner]

Hello, I am new to this blog and know somebody on here has the answer to my question. I drive an 02 T4R SR5 4x4. I noticed the rear has been sagging and it worse now than ever. When i checked it the other day i noticed that the rear suspension is sitting about a 1/2'' off the bump stops if not less. I have a feeling my springs are shot! can anybody confirm this? If they are I am going to go ahead and lift it. I don't have any aftermarket bumpers but often carry a lot of weight when camping in the summer and do a small amount of off road driving(planning on doing a lot more and probably adding a aftermarket front bumper/brush gard).

Should I get
OME 881 ro 883 for the front?
with bilstien 5100's
top plate spacer to level. What size do I need?

OME 891 or 890 in the rear ?
with Rancho rs5000's. Or is there another brand I should consider?
(liked rancho bc of the price and warranty and I can get them locally)

I have done quite a bit of research but there is so much out there on the subject i though i could get a more direct answer if I just asked. Any suggestions on what setup I should go with? I would like it to sit level bc not a huge fan of rear rake( a little rake is ok)


Right now I am running michelin LTX 265/75/16 but am upgrading to BFG AT265/75/16 or bigger as soon as I do the suspension work.

You won't get many replies for a question as general as yours other than read the sticky and search more. I have OME in front/rear and I think the rear is way too stiff. I don't run much weight in the rear but even when I do the rear "jumps" off speed bumps. It is much stiffer than stock. I will likely change out the rear in the spring but I don't know what I'll go with yet. Good luck.
