front end sag

[4skirunner]

hey i was wondering if there was something common that made the front end sag. i have an 84 pickup with 6 inch springs in the front, and aal shackles and blocks in the rear. the front passenger corner sags like 2 inches. the spring perches are kind of beat, but i don't think they're that bad off. what else could it be?

The pass side is sagging 2" ? hmm.. usually the driver side sags.

Ok first off, are they aftermarket lift springs(superlift,skyjacker) or did you get them done at a spring shop by just re-arching the leaf pack. Cause re-arched springs will sag depending how whipped they were before they were arched. If they are aftermarket springs and they are new then think about how you drive it? do you always use the pass side tire when climbing stuff? if you are compressing the pass side spring more then maybe you are weakening it. Just some thoughts.

Check the bushings and shackles..

If not then check the frame for cracks cause maybe your frame is bent or broken causing it to sag on that side. Thats worst case scenario but possible.

My passenger side does the same thing but with stock leaves. I even replaced that side with new ones and were higher to compensate for settling. They didn't last long! They are still lower than the rest.

I don't recommend re-arching them in my opinion because I did that twice and both time they became flat after 3-7 days, I'm not joking. I will never spend that much money on re-arching.
Mine now are all flat and some even negative arch...I just live with it.

i have been using rears in the front and have abusesd them pretty badly as in no bump stops and negitive arching them and my truck still sits fine. u shoukd swap a hybrid pack in the front :S
