Default Suspension seems to be sagging...

My rear passenger side is noticeably sagging and I was just wondering what could cause that? Its not a broken leaf spring ive already looked at them. And is there anything I could do to fix it? thanks in advance

the springs just get old and worn out, throw an AAL (add-a-leaf) on to raise it back up for a little while, or get a new set

If you are broke and looking for a quick fix short term, go add-a-leaf. A lil more expensive and long term fix, go with new leafs. The $$ difference isn't that big, but you won't have to worry about it for awhile.

If you plan on keeping it and building it right, get new leafs and go to the next mod.

It's ok. We're not going anywhere. Lol! Took me over a year to get my lift installed, but it was worth the wait.
