The stock spring is not that heavy duty. People by nature used their runners like a truck and after awhile the spring gives out. It happens to all spring steel eventually. Here a pic difference of ome 901-HD's compaired to stock. I ordered my Old Man Emu's Torsion Bars and 901 Heavy Duty rear coils springs from 4X4 Connection.

same reason my grandma cant polevault, theyre old.
Any coil will start to sag after a certain amount of time, but newer ones will bring it back up.

My old stock springs are 14.5" and there shot. I'd say the 901's are a little under 16". But they don't compress as much as the stock ones. Hence the 1.5" lift you get from them. That's 1.5" over new stock ones, If your runner is sagging now, it may raise it 3" from its cuurent position, it did mine.
Before
901HD's installed
