Default towing idea?

My situation is my rear springs are shot on my 96 (surprise). I don't have the money right now for the lift that I want and with winter fast approaching that means so is snowmobile season. I have a 2 sled trailer each sled is 500 or so lbs. Is there anything I could use for at least this winter to be able to tow? (Don't hate me but like a helper spring or aomething?) Any idea appreciated

Bingo! This would be your best bet. And safest.

At least that's what I plan on doing until my girlfriend can afford to buy new packs

Yeah I'd go the add-a-lead route before those goofy helper springs that bolt on.

No experience with the coil type but they don't seem like they'd work that well in an XJ.
