[Healeys] Rear Springs on BJ7

Fellow Healeyoids,  My 1963 BJ7 has a saggy ass.  The rear end looks like an
old Labrador retriever with hip dysplasia.  I want to lift up the rear
springs but I have heard that the new replacement springs are cheap and not
as good.  Question:  can't I get a new piece of spring steel and stick in in
with the existing spring leaves?  Would one or two be better?  What is the
most cost effective way to remedy this saggy ass syndrome? My front springs
are original and I have rebuilt shocks on the front but not the rear.
Thanks!
