alright ive been tosing around some ideas and searching around for some ideas for the last few days and i havent really come up with anything.

As we all know our trucks look like they have rear sag, even when they dont. i took measurements of mine, and im about right for being level, but theres an opical illusion of rear sag, and that bothers me a bit.

Im curently running stock leaves spring under, with warior shackles. the leaves are a little on the saggy side, but not horrible as far as i can tell

Someone sugested i call Hackensack spring, a local place to me about geting my packs rebuilt, and they estimated 500 bucks to rebuild em, wich i think is insane, but corect me if im wrong. i was under the impression that i could get new springs for that, and ive looked a bit and that dosnt seem to far from the truth. i mean hell for that amount of coin i could do alot more productive things to better the rig

then theres always the AAL route, or the f150 spring swap

im not really woried about the harshening of the ride, and my rear will out flex my front as is anyway

idk, im kinda sitin here scratchin my head playin with the search button, so if anyone has any ideas or insight, feel free to chime in

Mine were sagging terrible. I swaped in a set of junkyard springs, that were much younger, and wala problem solved.
 












My buddy has a set of brand new (stock) springs for his Explorer that he never installed (now selling the truck). I can check to see how much he would want for them. They're located in Central PA.
 






if you could jeff, id apreciate it

heres a question, and i havent been able to get a good comparison to find out, in a 94 with an estimated 180K on it (i have no idea the actual milage to this thing) anybody know about how much different the arch of a set of new springs would be? or how much of a change id see in the height of the rear?
