I see Moog 5658 springs (I believe these fit Chevy Blazers and
Montecarlos) should give me just about the front ride height, 17"+,
that I have now, but almost 50% stiffer (if my current springs are
OEM). My rear springs are definitely HD though brand/model unknown -
in spite of Cunegonde being a Westy with a lot of heavy items under
the rear seat, she's more more than 1" higher in the rear than the
front, about 18.5".

The current plan is to take her to Halsey Automotive or another
locally recommended shop and have them diagnose the primary
problem(s). If indeed the spring is it, then we'll install the Moogs
and whatever bushings are necessary. Wish us luck it's just a busted
spring and some worn small bits!

Thanks for all the help. Will provide update and costs when I know
more. I'm a bit sad I can't quite do this myself.
