Sagging rear end

Since this is a truck forum I will keep it to my trucks rear end and not my wife's. Ooooh I hope she won't be looking over my shoulder.
My 93 F-250 HD Extended cab is starting to sag noticably in the rear drivers side. I have looked around on line and in town for new springs but can't seem to find any that do not include a lift. The local spring shop recommended i not try to re-arch the old ones. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Rich

Hey thanks Tim! Took a little searching to find them but I did. And a good proce too. $200! Most I have found with lifts are close to $400 and it was more than that to re-arch them. Now I just have to figure out how much #130 is going to hurt to ship.


Thanks again,
Rich

Your HEAVY DUTY F250 might take the other springs that are $225 +$20 crate fee + shipping for 185#. Please call them before ordering to confirm. From the pics it seems the heavier ones have 6 leafs and the lighter ones have 5.

I'm in the process of ordering springs for my f150 too

Also, climb under and see if your shackles need replacing too, also available at the graveyard, and don't forget to order bushings.

I noticed those springs as well. I counted my leafs and there are only 5, but I thinkyou are right that I should go the heavier route. Do you think they would still ship UPS? I am trying to figure what shipping might be. I guess I can give them a call tommorrow and find out. I think I should also get new U-bolts and hardware. When you mention bushings are you talking about for the springs or the shackle. It looks like the picture shows the bushings in the springs.
