WTB 2nd gen rear coil springs

Well the reason everybody swaps them out is that they are notorious for sagging in the rear. That is the reason I swapped mine out with a set of old man emu springs to alleviate the rear sag in my second gen. If you are looking to raise the rear a stock set is problably not what you want.

What I am doing is putting a 80 series Land Cruiser axle in my 3rd gen 4runner.
Due to the center to center dimension of the spring perches on the axle I am having to put a plate under the frame rail and use that for my coil bucket to keep the springs straight up and down. I can't use the factory location.
The way I am having to lower the top spring mounting from about the top of the frame rail to about an inch below the frame rail would be like putting a 4 inch spacer on top of the springs.
If I compress the spring more than it was in the 2nd gen might be a good thing in this case because it will give me more axle down travel, granted I will loose some up travel.
About how much sag did the 2nd gen springs develop?
Hope all that makes sense and thanks for the help.

Yes, I think I will try the stock springs for now and see how that works out.
