Re: Best way to prevent rear-end sag
I agree that adding 1 or 2 rear spring leafs is the best way. We had to to do that all the time with out work trucks on the DOT survey crews. The bean counters always bought us 1/2 ton 4x4's and we really needed 3/4 tons. So we would have 2 extra leafs put in the rear springs and the trucks were fine to haul around 1000 lbs of gear and still pull a 5,000 trialer with a Ford 5.0L engine, allbeit very slowly. Just make sure you insist the shop make it so the truck does not ride higher than stock, progressive spring rate I beleive it what they referred to it as. This shop built springs of all kinds up to logging trucks etc.
I can't recall how much it cost, just told them to send the bill to someone else.
