I am curious about how/the best way to eliminate the rear end sag that I get with even the smallest load. I am not looking for added lift...just the best way to stop the sag and maintain decent ride and handling. am I looking at springs, shocks, leaf, or what?
thanks
 






There are several options you could go with. the add a leaf WILL give you a lil more lift, but it will stiffen up the rear so it doesn't sag so much. You could go with air shocks, but i don't like this idea cause you have to get rid of your regular shocks, or you could go with a system like this

Before I put my lift in I fixed the sag using the cheep auto zone shackles. They are adjustable so you dont have to go any higher than stock. Thats the cheep fix. Another would be new shocks and leaf springs.
