Getting the Wheeling Fever
are the whitney springs as heavy duty as toyota springs?I have a saggy rear end on my truck,was thinking about rearching but dont know anyone in virginia that still does it,so i thought I would just put in new springs and maybe a airbag helper
(I usually overload my truck way too much)

I replaced the leaf springs on my 94 pickup with a set froma 93. Recently bought an 88 Runner that had very mild rear sag and used and add a leaf from JC Whitney which leveled it out. If you are going to replace the springs you might want to throw the add a leaf in while the springs are out if you have some sag or carry heavy loads.

sounds to me like a chevy spring swap would help you
