Need a Spot
my rear is riding lower than I'd like on my 93 T100 4x4 longbed. I built a nice carpet kit back there that took most of 4 sheets of 3/4" plywood. so it's got that weight back there plus the cap and some general stuff in the carpet kit cargo holds. But all in all not more than it shouldn't be able to handle. Are there any easy ways, modifications, etc to get her back up without replacing the leaf springs? Is in normal that these would wear out in 17 years? If I do have to replace them, my local yard has some SUV and truck toyota's so I'm wondering if the SUV springs would be stiffer or something being that they're more designed for people and such back there? or are they actually the other way around as they're not as much meant for heavy cargo loads. Thanks for any information on this. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have a set of Roadmaster Active Suspension that I've been really happy with. You should give them a shot...they have a money back guarantee. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Take the truck to a spring shop and ask for them to rearch them, costs between 150-400 buck depending on the shop and area.

I had mine done and another leaf added and new bushings and u bolts for 650.

An add-a-leaf would be a good way to go for you. Just make sure its a "soft" (long) style add a leaf, not the short, stiff type. The short, stiff ones will cause the leaves above them to crack over time.
