I've been following this thread because my 1500 suffers from driver's
side rear end sag and my next project is to fix it. I've been told to
"replace the spring itself", "replace the shocks", "do both",
"replace the front coils". I had planned to replace the spring, but
after reading what Greg has done i wonder if that might be the
solution. Any advice, thoughts from the experts?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi,
I finished putting in the disks in the rear leaf spring Saturday.
Sure made an
improvement. The rear of the car now sits higher and the rear
wheels don't
lean in as much.
Went on a ride this afternoon with my Dad to give it a test with
two people in
the car. It came down a little but it wasn't anything like before.
I even
think it rides better. We took the Spit on some rough roads too.
Went down to show a friend who owns a Spitfire and he could tell the
difference as soon as I turned on his street. He couldn't believe the
difference. Now, he wished he would done it to his old leaf spring
instead of
buying a new one.
Now the next test is going to be time.

Here's a link to some pictures I took while working on the leaf
spring.
