Seems like my driver side leaf spring is sagging lower than the passenger side... Don't really wanna drop 600 on new leaf springs so I was curious if there's a way to put some spring back in them?!?!?!?

I hate junk yard leaf springs. They always end up being junk. Time to lift some more it sounds like.

Actually its time to get it down a little more on the other side... Lower is better for MPG's (less wind drag!)

Still $4.229 for diesel here... Still 180 miles to WalMart... So you buying fuel right? Got deep pockets? :naughty:

So I'll be on a MPG mission for life...

As for the spring you might start search around for shops that re-arch springs. I'll tell you this it not cheap.
