sagging spring

Hi there I might be crazy but it feels like the driver side front spring on my 99 f 250 is sagging. I dont know if it is age and hard use or its me because im a big dude, im 6'4" and about 350 lbs. any input would be appreciated thanks. Neal

I have heard of people rotating the Left and right side springs around for even wear. Measure the ride height on a flat piece of cement. Check both sides and compare to the Facotory Service Manual.

Maybe time for new springs. They are about $150 a piece. Also you may want to get heavier springs..Look on the door sticker lower right for spring code.

Wow, you are definately a big guy... but that's not gonna cause your spring to sag. 99f350 is right on... just get a new spring pack... it'd be a good opportunity (and excuse) to put a leveling kit on with maybe some bigger tires :P. Or just a new spring pack.
