Rear-end settled
Anybody have any ideas on how to repair a settled rear suspension? It looks to be approx 1 inch low, the previous owner probably towed a tongue heavy load. I have been looking at the Add-A-Leaf kits, any other ideas?
Thanks!

You can re-arch the springs. Probably better than add-a-leafs.
Or you can swap F250 springs in thier place. Just do the front ones too while you're at it. You may have to change shocks after that...fun, huh!?

Find a spring shop in your area.
It is difficult to fatigue spring steel by bending it.
Usually runs about $50.
It is the best bet for original ride quality and height. Add a leafs can make it very stiff.
