Coil spring isolator
Could a cracked isolator be the cause of my truck sagging on one side? I can see it is cracked but was wondering if there may be something below it that broke.

Might help to post some info about your truck. It may cause a little sag, sure, but the isolator is also fairly thin, so if it is a significant sag, probably not the isolator.
If it helps Moog K6203-2 fit perfectly on my 1983 F-100 XLT 2WD LWB. Won't come up at the parts stores, but if you give them that number, they can look it up that way. Advance Auto had to order mine, but they had it in the next day.

Shocks shouldn't affect ride height. Not sure why everyone starts there unless they're really bad. A brand new, quality shock still can't support the weight of the vehicle. Springs may be sagging. They can "wear" from weight over the years. Start with measuring your springs installed with the vehicle in it's normal position on level ground.
I don't think your truck would've come with progressive springs, but I am not sure. If those aren't progressive, the coils at the top look pretty close to one another...

Gotcha. If they needed changing anyway, it makes sense to do them. You wouldn't believe how many people came in to the auto parts stores I worked at asking for shocks to fix the sag.

Does anyone else with a 4x4 have coil springs that look like this or are they in need of replacing?
