There's been a lot of talk here about the "add a leaf" fix, which will bring the rear end up about an inch or so, not to mention it will make the ride a little stiffer..... however, the appearance of a sagging rear end is partly an optical illusion. The wheel well shape on the rear is different the front so it appears that the rear is lower. I have the same "problem", but when I measured the difference on the body trim front to rear, they were the same. So, it is up to you what you want to do. I would measure first, then if there really is a sag in the rear, I would replace both spring packs with new ones.... then go from there.

If you will do some searching on this site you will find a couple of threads dealing with this. I know in one, several people recommended using a shackle kit which costs about $80. Also, I came across this website that tells you how to install them, gives a part number, and tells you how to lift the front if you wish. It is just an example.

you could always go the air shock OR air bag routes and adjust the height as you see fit by adding or subtracting air, especially if you are noticing the worst sag when you have a heavy load on the rear end or towing a trailer. Not sure of the level of satisfaction you might have on the ride, though, especially when riding unloaded.
