leaf springs
Just replaced the rear shocks on the 88 bII . The passenger side rear corner looks like it sagging about 3" lower than the drivers side rear corner. This was one reason why i put the new shocks on , but it did not help. Took the spare tire off to see if that would make a difference and it didnt. Is it possible to have one leaf spring weaker than the other, because of the spare on the one side. Didnt notice the sag when i bought the BII and i think it may have been sitting for awhile. Seems like since ive been driving it, it has gotten worse. Frame and shock mounts all good. Thanks for any info.

There is a easy fix for your problem ,New rear springs,I would check the junkyards and find a set off a Explorer they are better springs and almost a direct bolt up.
You will need to turn over the center bolt in the Explorer springs.Then they just go where the old springs where. Hope this helps.
