I have a spring that I think is weak,(rear driver)it saggs and if you push up it will sit close to where it should be.I replaced the shocks and spring shackle so I'am sure it's the spring.Should I have it rearched to factory or measure the height diff on a level floor?Let me know if anyone has an idea.Clark.

Clark,

I would have all four inspected and rearched to factory specs if needed. That way all four would be on the same level (no pun intended!). Wink

It would mean a lot more work to get all four off the vehicle and more money to get all four checked out, but probably worth it in the end.

Hi, I had the same problem as you and from posting, it seems most people do. I agree with Ryan, but in my case because of time I just removed the two rear and took them and had them taken apart, sandblasted, painted, and re-arched. Cost me less than $100. in KC, MO and I am very well satisfied. Wish I had the front two done just for the cleaning, sanding and painting as they did not need re-arching but it is just one of those things---the ideal time to do it in my view is when you have the tub, motor and trans removed. FWIW, Semper Fi Ben
