Default Leaf Springs that Don't Rust @ the Speed of Light?

I purchased a set of Dorman leaf springs last Summer. They are rusting at the speed of light. The XJ is 27 years old. The leaf springs now have 90% of the rust on the entire vehicle (the other 9% is the exhaust system). May I have a recommendation for leaf springs that do not rust so fast? Looking for stock height or a 1" lift (if anyone even makes that).

they do not use quality paint from the factory on oem type leaf springs so I would suggest prepping and painting the new springs or oil spray them with fluid film or something like that
