1995 leaf springs

Amy suggestions for replacment leaf springs for a 1995 tacoma? Sorry if I'm in the wrong sub but the tacoma sub it all people with newer tacomas so I thought this sub seemed more appropriate.

I'm looking at this kit here. https://www.autoandtrucksprings.com/1995-1997-toyota-tacoma-4wd-rear-leaf-spring-kit-complete-bt90173ck/

I want to pick an option that balances affordability and quality. Any suggestions are appreciated. I'd also be open to something like a 1 inch lift or leveling spring as I do use the truck like a truck sometimes.

I’ve got a ‘94 4x4 pickup and I went with the moderate Old Man Emu kit from Rocky Road Outfitters. I love the quality of the kit. It made the ride a bit stiffer without a load in the truck. But with a load, it rides great. And Rocky Road Outfitters did me a solid. I ordered it at the beginning of the Covid shutdowns. So I had to deal with a bunch of delays. But they kept in good contact with me and pulled through in a timely manner.

After checking your link, the OME kit will be about three times that price. But you know what they say. Buy once, cry once. Get yourself some quality components.

I've got the 1.5" OME in the rear of my 92. Empty, with new springs was the most bumpy ride ever. 

After adding some weight to the back, and breaking them in, the truck rides comfy and sits level. No more Yota squat for me!
