Toyota pickup leaf springs

i dont like how my leaf springs handle heavy load. they sink too low under load..would springs from a "hilux pickup" those from japan, fit my american made 92 shrtbed with 22re motor? and how well would it fit, would i get a lift, would it be too stiff, etc??

My '86 4runner had a sagging rear but an add-a-leaf brought it up and is a lot cheaper.

I just had 1 leaf added. I did thiss when I had a 4" suspension lift installed. After I had the lift installed the rear ended was more noticeably sagging than before. The added leaf leveled it out.

As far as the Hilux leafs, I don't know.
