The truck does not do much heavy hauling but I do move my 5th wheel a couple of times a year . Being a 2000 and only putting 5k on truck per year I don`t really want to drop alot of coin into it.
with the leaf springs broken the shocks must be shot. go to this supplier for some quality springs/parts.

working the leaf springs is a nasty job when trying to salvage .

I am cheap, but going to a scap yard and using worn out parts in this area is not worth the effort.
