Get the Monroe MA765 air shocks. I literally have the same problem, I installed the shocks and aired them up to about 80p.s.I and it raised my rear end about 1.5-2 inches. They were about $74 plus tax at o'rielly auto parts. Plus they have Lifetime warranty.

 

The Monroe shocks I used were adjustable air shocks that you add air with a compressor like a bicycle tire. They work awesome and are a great price.

Unfortunately once the *** end sags you don't want to base a lift off those springs it will make the springs worse. A shackle or block will only damage and negative arch the springs more. For a life either start with new springs or build a bastard pack.

 

Well I guess I can this my laziness out on this one haha. Tomorrow I start the search for an affordable and proper solution at the Yard.

 

theres a lot of issues with them also good luck

 

Like what? I'm doin the 4.5 x-flex kit once I get the money. Unless those leafs are different somehow because of the extra flex in the kit.

 

I keep reading complaints about the springs being too short and making the shackle sit verticle or in some cases, tilted toward the front. I'm guessing they're adding all that extra arc (creating the lift) to factory length springs which in turn, makes them shorter from eye to eye.

 

Weirdd. Is it a major problem or not really? That's the best kit I could find for a decent price.

 

I've thought about having a local guy re-arch my saggy springs.But wouldn't they just sag back fairly quick?

School me.

 

It's a big problem. If you look in the vendor catagory in for sale the rough country vendor is asking for peoples thought on their products and there's about 10 pages of guys complaining.about the negative arch from the shackels and their leafs tend to sag very quickly.

IV heard rusty's leaf packs are a good deal and reliable. You could always build a bastard pack.

 

I've had springs re-arched for certain cars where replacements aren't available.
It's a mixed bag. It works...but IMHO they are going to sag again, probably faster than they did the first time. Sometimes it's the only option. They will never be better than OEM and the OEM wasn't that good.

 

That was what I was expecting someone to say.Thanks for confirming.

 

I might try the rusty's pack. I'm just worried that things won't fit together right, since I don't exactly have a shop to fab things if I need. I'll just do some more research before I buy everything. I still got a long way to go till then anyway. And sorry OP for thread jacking, haha. I got a little carried away...
