Hi All!
I need some help/guidance on how best to fix my saggy springs issue.
Firstly, I had the ARC shocks replaced with NEW ones from Suncore Industries. Also all ball joints control arms and endlinks replace withj new.
I'm reading that the Limited with ARC had weaker springs installed from the factory to begin with. I understand that the ARC doesnt really help with weight or load, it just brings the height back up to normal.
So I may have a few issues... 1> My air ride needs a 're-zero' and 2> my leaf springs are week.
I notice that 1 side of the vehicle sits lower in general. My thought is that even with the air ride, those springs are just kaput.
I also carry a load all the time... I am bouncing from left to right and front to back almost all the time over driveways and small pot holes...
My questions...
Do I need a full leaf replacement? Where do I buy it? Online? Links? How-to links?
What are my options for a full or partial leaf replacement? Options, Companies, websites, links?
How do I rezero the Air system?
Has anyone heard bad things about the Suncore Industries products?
If I've got leafs in the back, what is in the front? Just the shocks? (sorry i'm a car guy... shocks and struts and springs front and back)
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking at this!
