leaf spring sagging.

93 ranger with 4in tuff country, the left side rear end sags, and when i look at the leaf spring lift shackle its flexing backwards while the right side shackle is straight up and down. just wondering before i go tearing it apart if ayone knows if something is off or if my leaf is tired and needs to be replaced. i appreciate any inpute, thanks ahead of time.

From what I have seen, the driver side lean is common on rangers because of the extra weight from the driver, gas tank, and battery all on that side.

You might try adding add a leafs to firm up the springs, otherwise it seems a re arch or different springs are in your future.

get used explorer leafs. you can put an extra 500 pounds on them, and its an easy swap if you zip disc the leaf bolts from inside the hanger, just cut through the collar and everything then just put in new bolts, it destroys the old leafs but the hangers dont get touched.
