Now THAT'S what I'm talking about haha. Is that leveling kit a drop shackle kit or a mini spring kit though? I know some people say mini springs are better...haven't really gone down that road too far though.
The big thing is, these shocks LOOK like factory originals...and I have over 260k on the truck. I'm going to go out this afternoon and bounce on my truck and see what it does.
How could I tell if my leaf springs are worn out though? I mean, 260k is a lot, I don't know if they could or should be worn out at this point. I do know that the single previous owner did NOT really tow much. I think he said the heaviest thing he ever towed was a bobcat, and he only pulled that a couple of times over a month or two.
As to the tires, I have played around with air pressure, and I haven't noticed any major change in my problem...I'm really starting to think my biggest problem here is old shocks.

BTW your springs are probably fine. if anything they may be bound up from not getting enough exercise.....
