I just got a set of the Monroe shocks with the coil spring assist, pn:58577. I don't know how many companies still make them, but I was glad to find them. I've been told by a local spring shop that they no longer re-arch leaf springs, as they tend to just fall back to their previous arch too quickly; they recommend adding a leaf or two instead.

Those Monroe Air Shocks can be "pumped up" just like a tire (same type of valve) to compensate a sagging rear end. I am very happy with them, the car is level now (and I even can raise the rear higher if I want, to compensate for heavy loads) and the ride is still smooth.
