Hey guys and gals!...I've been away for awhile...(buying new toys for the X!)....anyway,this is my second X,the first was a 91 xlt, the current is a 98 EB....I have noticed that when looking from the side profile,the truck seems to sag a bit in the rear end....in my 91 I thought that this was due to about 400+ pounds of subs,amps,batterys,and dynamat in the rear(I leveled that out by the way with leaf spring lifters)....but in the current vehicle...nothing is in the rear!,and I still notice it...is this common?...any fixes other than the leaf spring solution?....thanks in advance!

my rear end doesnt sag.

everything is pretty level.
 






Yep .

Yep it's real common . Warrior shackles , or add a leaf are the common fix . both should give you about 1.5" of lift .. Hope this helps ....
 






hey guys thanks ....looks like its the old add a leaf again!
 






Mine also sagged on the drivers side. To level it I lowered the passenger side torsion bar.
Now the front isn't level but you can't tell that unless you measure. Just not noticeable.
 






hey which add a leafs do you recommend? for fixing sagging as well as giving you a little more load capacity. i have a 97 xlt if that makes a difference. thanks guys.
 






Hey BlueSteel,

On my 91 I just went to my local pep boys, and found a pair...not sure of the brand but they worked fine...
