i have a sagging problem, can you help

I hate to admit this , but i sag. My rearend sits just a little lower than my front end when my truck has an empty bed. When i have a load in the bed the sagging gets really bad. This is very embarasing and i hope the forum does not think less of me. I have been inquiring about fixes for this, airbags, add a leaf's, overload springs, and so forth. Here is the deal, i have a small suspension lift on this truck, it has procomp shocks. I am leaning toward the overload springs, I am hoping that the overloads will add a leaf to my springs, which will fix my sag when empty. And help keep the sagging at a minimum when i have a load in the rear "which is an almost every day thing" here is a link to a picture of my trucks rear suspension. Can you great guru's of all that is truckish, look and tell me if i can add the overloads, and will they raise the rear end? I will post this in the suspension forum also if their is one.

here is the pic.

Air bag it and be done with it. They will never sag. Especially if you are towing heavy or hauling heavy.

The Firestone air bags are really easy to install, not that expensive and most importantly they work well.

#1 - Have you considered cosmetic surgery?

#2 - Depends are well known to help the load in the rear issue...

#3 - Come what may, we at DTR will always accept you for who you are.
