Air adjustable helper springs may be your best bet for the rear. They are under $100 and work well (I use a set on Crashy to keep the rear from sagging when I have her dump bed full of dirt).

This is the kit that I used:

Yes. On Crashy the rear was always higher than the front, as with everything including the hatch removed there was zero weight back there. When I cut the top and added the power dump bed I found that once I put some weight in the bed that the rear would sag to the point where the tires would rub, so I added the helpers. Now, I can carry 1000 lbs of topsoil and she doesn't squat at all.
