For around $100 from RockAuto.com you can order a set of monroe sensa-trac load leveler shocks. They are coil-over shocks that add an additional 1200 lbs of load carrying ability. I just put these on the back of my 2002 ls 2 door that was sagging and all is well now. Rides like a champ, and only took about an hour to install.

Napa also sells those shocks ( http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Det...+50014+2014003 ) and JC Whitney has a ADD-A-LEAF for $50 ( http://www.jcwhitney.com/add-a-leaf-kits/p2005974.jcwx ) but i think it would be alot easier and cheaper just to buy a rear shackle set for about $50 from ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-Lif...Q5fAccessories ) good luck
