I have a '97 2D 4WD Tahoe that looks as if the rear end has very slowly dropped some over the past few months. I thought maybe it was my imagination, but someone also said that it looked that way to them too. I have been trailering a boat a considerable amount over the last few months, but I don't know if this would have anything to do with it. Any suggestions on what I might look for to see if this is happening and/or fix it? Thanks.

Welcome to Leaf Spring Land. These are most likely what you need. My 98 4dr had some rear end sag and I did leaf springs and shocks and it cranked her right back up. They are not a fun job by any means...and if you don't have the tools or the know-how then I would suggest that you pay someone to do it. I got mine from a local welding supply/metal shop and found that they were a bit more stout then the OEM springs, but it didn't comprimise the ride. Also, if you plan to continue trailering the boat you may want to invest in some helper springs to lighten the load on your suspension. Let me know if you need any more advice or if yo have any questions. Matt...

What I found that helped after doing leaf springs on the pick-up were the Timbren load levelers. Giant rubber springs that go in place of the axle snubber and lay down on the axle as you increase the load. It serves two purposes: increased load capacity and increased stability due to the fact the load levelers tie the frame to the axle (similar to an anti-sway bar). They generally run from $150-200 for a set. Very simple to install. A nice bonus to the new springs. mtmaurer8000 is right on with the after market springs. Usually they are a bit beefier than OEM. Good luck.
