old and saggy ?
No i'm not talking bout grandma. 
. i have a 86 f150 4x4 and the front end seems to sit about 2 inches lower than the rear. is this normal, or do i need new springs. it does not seem to bounce bad or anything. but it looks like i'm ready for the tractor pulls or something.

measure the bump stops to axle pivot arms. belive in that year, you should have gap of 2.25 +- .375. if not you may have bad springs in the front. is a common problem in the fords with the straight cut springs. those with the progressive springs usually held up better.
