Rear body sag

Hello all,

I have a '94 T100 4X4 that suffers from a sagging back side. The sag is not symetrical with the passenger side (gas tank influence?) sitting lower than the driver's side. The shocks are Ranch RS5000 and seem, in great shape, So I am leaning towards the rear leaf springs. My question is what are my options? Are new springs the only way to go? What about Rancho's add a leaf or level a load? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to yotatech!!

As for the sagging srings... add-a-leaves will not eliminate the problem. The problem you may have is that one leaf may be broken in the middle. I would suggest getting a new spring pack for each side. If you go aftermarket find some that have atleast 5 leaves and a little lift if you want it. Hope this helps

If money was no object try and find some from Old Man Emu or Northwest offroad. But in real life try superlift, downey, or rancho. All should make stock height springs or two inch lift (in the later case crank up the torsion bars to levle it out). You could always go to the stealership and have them bend you over and make you take it like a man on the price.

Try Alcan they will make what you want. I have them on my '96 and have put over 100K problem free miles on them.
If you want to try a less exspensive route I have my OEM 4WD leaf packs with Downey AAL's available in the items for sale section...
