If the springs aren't dead just leave it for now and save up for a full set.

If they are multi leaf springs I would much rather save and get a set of decent ones... even if a leaf snaps you'll still get home in all likelihood!

If you cant afford the whole set maybe think about getting fronts first (more weight on them) and getting rears later... thats what I've done
