Sagging Driver Side Spring
The previous owner put in the new suspension so I dont know how long this condition has existed.
The Driver Side Spring Seat has cracked and now sits on the Axel mount and that allows the Spring the ride 1-2" lower on the driver side which makes the truck sag a little.
I know that I dont have the garage/equipment/expertise to fix this but I am wondering EXACTLY what the situation is and what is the best way to fix it so when I bring it to some places I can get it fixed right without getting hosed financially.
Do you guys think that the Spring needs lifting and rewelding or parts replaced?
Give me your opinion. Im including photos of the Driver side first and then the Passenger side for comparision. if they dont come through then I have them in my Gallery as well under Springs.

Without a doubt if you have a broken spring, replace the pair. One new spring will give you a taller, stiffer ride on that side. If any other hardware is missing/broken replace them.
I could replace both spring's and hardware in 2 hours. Been doing them awhile. Don't pay too much.
