- '02 4x4 4.0 200K
I am constantly loading my 02 up quite a bit either occasionally hauling stuff, towing or moving every few months (college and seasonal work). Recently it has been sagging alot in the rear when loaded (although I have been loading it more than before, but not that much more) The rear is about level with the front (instead of an inch higher or whatever it its supposed to be) when unloaded now too. There is 140k on truck, original shocks/struts.
My questions are:
1. Airbags are my favorite option as I have seen trucks and some SUVs with coil springs with them but are they made for 3rd gens? And would they work with this suspension setup? Where would they go?
2. If air bags arn't an option, are there springs that would be better suited for the job?
3. Is it possible that my coil springs are shot and need to be replaced and that would get rid of the sag? I've talked to lots of people about this and they've never replaced springs on cars before, just shocks.....
