Pickup Temporary Rear Leaf Fix?

I got a 93 Pickup that I am trying to fix the rear sag on. The main issue I have is that the rear passenger side sags about 2-3 inches lower than the drivers side.

I am currently saving up for a house right now and am looking for a cheap temporary fix that would need to last about 2 years. Once I get my house and a garage I am planning doing a SAS swap and so the rear will get swapped out anyways.

Would the Zuk mod work for this or would replacing the leafs be the best?

I dont think a add-a-leaf would work due to the lean it already has. Is this true?

Also are the 89-95 single cab and extended cab leafs the same?
I may just try and find some cheap used leafs for now to throw in there.

go to junk yard or CL and buy up someone's old leafs. post up a pic, it might be something else going on if there's that much difference between the two sides.

I sure would not go to all that trouble of pulling out bad springs to put another set of used springs in.

Are you sure something else is not wrong or broke??

Where are you measuring to determine you have that much difference

Good luck on becoming a Tax payer

Find a spring shop and have your springs re-arched, and new bolts made. Should be lots of truck shops in PA. Right rear springs were always weak and spring wrap just makes it worse. If you get lucky find one that does Super Stock springs for muscle cars and you will be done after that.

Just put a 3" block on one side.

Just kidding. All 3rd rear leafs are 51" long. I would grab 1 or 2 sets out of a junkyard and build a bastard pack out of them.
