Sagging rear
Hey guys,
I replaced the rear shocks but the back of my truck (especially the rear passenger side) sags.
I haven't had a car/truck with rear leaf springs before. Is my only option new leaf springs?

its probably cheaper to buy springs though , i just bought ARB springs for $105 each off amazon

You can search for the Zuk mod. Basically you add a coil spring on top of your leaf pack. It's cheap and slightly better than a band aid, more of a walking cast while you still have a broken foot.
The proper way is new springs. Wether you use new toyotas or aftermarket like OME or similar, fresh steel is your goal. Rearching doesn't work very well on 30+ year old steel and light duty trucks in general.
