Sounds like you may need shocks, too. I bought a set of Moog variable rate springs for my short bed.

New springs won't fix that. You might need new springs too if your truck is really sagging but a truck with new springs and bad shocks will do the same thing. That is my opinion.

if you dont want to spend the money just do the shocks. It'll make a difference as said above. :2cents:

New Coil Springs installed, MOG-CC808 from Summit. Tire clearance went from 1/4" on the passenger side to 4 1/2" of clearance. Drivers side went from 1 1/2 to 4 1/2". Shocks are less than a year old. I'm running Firestone Destination LE 235/75R15 on Cragar Nomad I rims (15x7 on the front and painted to match truck color). I'd say it was due some new springs, and I can't make it bounce any more by hand either. Thanks for the input folks. :fr:
