LOOKING FOR SOLUTION FOR FORD SAGING FRONT END
I HAVE A 1997 F-SERIES 4WD FORD F-250 HD GVW 8500. THE FRONT END IS IFS AND AFTER 50,000 I NOTICE THE FRONT END SAGES, WHEELS ARE SLANTING "LOWER END OUTWARD" AND TIRE WEAR IS MORE NOTICABLE ON THE INNER PORTION OF THE TREAD. THE SUGGESTION I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO CORRECT THIS IS TO ADD AN EXTRA LEAF TO EACH FRONT END LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY. HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT THIS METHOD AND WILL IT CORRECT MY PROBLEM? ARE THERE ANYOTHER POSITIVE SUGGESTION TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM.

First off - Knock off using the capital letters. We can read you just fine with the small ones.
No, I wouldn't add a leaf to the front end. Have the front ones re-arched.

Rearching is a good idea, but if you have a snow plow, adding leafs is a good idea to help keep the springs arch stay. If your noticing tire wear, and a sag, I would highly suspect upper or lower ball joints being bad.
