65k on truck .saging real bad with load.sould i add a leaf,new leaf springs or air bags.also good shocks that hold heavy towing(rancho 9000)any ideas.

 

If you're hauling enough weight to make the springs sag at 65K miles, why not find some 1-ton springs and install those. I installed Superlift lifted (6")springs on my buddies 04.5, but they don't hold the load as well as the oem ones. I wouldn't bother fixing the existing ones or band-aiding them with airbag or add a leafs. I've had the Rancho 9000's on other tow vehicles and jeeps and they last a long time and minimize the sag when cranked up. Where in the Bay Area are you? I'm in San Mateo and work in SF.

 

im in antioch but work in oakland and berkly hills mostley fixing land slides and home slides.i tow bobcat(14klbs)or excavater(9klbs) or dump trailer(14klbs on average).thats why they fail.who has good 1 ton springs,about what price and did they ruin his ride

 

Give Michigan Truck Spring a call. The have OEM and other springs available. I purchased some for my 1989 Ford F-250 extended cab 4 X 4 front and back. Their website is www.truckspring.com. I received very good service from them.
