Hi, My 96 ex after 140k is finally sagging in the rear, and I had to tow my camper a couple of weeks ago and it definietly could use some help, my camper is only 2600lbs and the truck did not like having it hitched to it at all. Anyway, I was gonna put on helper springs but I have another set of springs form a parts truck I had last year. What I wanted to do was take some leafs out of the spring pack that I have from the parts truck and add them to the spring pack that is in my truck now. My question is, should I just double up a couple of the same size springs or stagger them? I realize and hope that I will lift the truck a little higher than stock height but I wanna make sure that I am going at this the right way. I have to pick up my camper this weekend so I am gonna have to do the job on saturday, this is the first time I towed anything that heavy with that truck and I was a little disapointed. I didnt expect it to sagg as much as it did, it did however have plenty of power so I just need to get it to sit up high and I will be happy, and I am sure it will handle better while towing as well. Thanks, Jack
