The previous owner said the guy he bought it from had a Camper on it most of its life.
I would get the leafs re conditioned but I am unable to locate any that can do it in my area.
Is their a way I can do a simple quick fix by lifting the rear end by 2" or so? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 69 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 69 | Not as good as having the leafs re-arched, but you could always just bolt on some overload shocks. Or even air shocks if you wanted to be able to adust for heavier loads.

Any spring company worthy of it's name can do this. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 336 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 336 | I just replaced the shocks with Monroe Gas charged.
I thought this would fix it. It drives about 85 % better but is still a little low in the back. I wish I would have went with some coil over adjustable. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Shocks will not fix low ride hight, they only serve to dampen the action of the spring. The only exeption to this would be an air shock, and that's not really what they are intended for.
