rear leaf spring troubles!
So, I have noticed over time that my left rear side of the truck is sagging a little bit more than the right. Whooped out the tape measure and it is a 1 inch difference!
I don't know if anyone has encountered this problem before but I am trying to find the easiest way to get rid of this sag. I came up with a few ideas but maybe someone has a better one.
1. Go get new leaf springs from the dealer
2. Go get new ones online ($173.00 a piece)
3. Junkyard leaf springs
I don't want to just put a block under it on one side so I don't know what would be best. Thanks.

My motto. If it breaks, it was meant to be aftermarketed. Call Donahoe.
Seriously though, depends on what you do. I mean, if you're content with what you've had, albeit the sag of course, then online discount places, that's probably where I'd head. If cheap is the sole motivation, junkyard. If this really is a good opportunity to adjust ride quality, then I probably would be looking at DR or someone else for a spring set thats going to deliver whatever it is I think I want. Softer, firmer, more towing, whatever.

Hope it helps!
