Anyone try these?

The rear passenger side of my truck sags a little more than the driver side, do you guys these shocks will level it out?
I know new leaf springs are best but I like this price better
So what do you guys think?

They're probably gonna lift it a little, but they probably won't level it side to side.

One would have to be stouter than the other one, to do that.

Wouldn't the sum of the spring force (new assisted shock + saggy old spring) still be imbalanced? These aren't adjustable, so far as I can tell.

Interesting.... My '86 suffers from saggy rear leafs. I wonder if this might be a decent stop-gap measure in the meantime.

Band aid on a bullet wound .

Take the money spent on this and put it towards springs.

Be good to know just why your trucks hangs

Yeah I didn't think it would work out good with those shocks

The dummy that was using my truck right before I got it had air shocks on the back but the funny thing was he welded a rod (maybe rebar) to mount the lower part of the shock lol
The passenger side weld broke off and that side didn't have a shock for at least a few months. I'm guessing that's why that side sags so much

I used a set of Monroes that are very similar in a 2002 Dakota and they raised the back maybe 3/4 of a inch. The 3rd generation Dakotas have a bad issue with saging even with a small load. My truck had the tow package with 3.92 gears and a 9.25 rear so pulling wasn't a issue but I needed to keep the truck more level when loaded. The shocks actually worked very well for me in that application. In your case they may or may not help the vehicle level out but it could be worth a shot.
