you can order spring gaiters for your rear suspension.  these allow the 
oil/grease to lube the springs at all times.
additionally, they have a certain amount of visual appeal.
they are ancient tech, but they work.
or, once a month, wrap your rear springs in burlap or another cloth that has 
been saturated in used engine oil.  a LOT messier than gaiters, but 
effective.
Best,
Ray
