Leaf Springs on 89 BB

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to this forum - great idea. I checked through past posts, but did not see this question. Hopefully someone can help.

The leaf springs on my 89 Bronco 4x4 seem to need some help. When loaded with 500 to 600 lbs from a fairly heavy trailer, the rear end drop seems excessive (3 to 4 inches). Is this typical or are my leaf sprins worn out? Should I look at new leaf sprins or just add on some helper springs (add-a-leaf).

Thanks,
JGB
