Has anyone fixed the sagging front end on the D50. I was thinking of getting some leaf springs and add one to each side has anyone tried this or have any other sugestions.

The D50 springs do have a negative arch, check your spring bushings first. They will flatten or wear and lower the spring about 1/2 inch. I had my springs rearched at a spring shop back to specs. If you want new ones they went to 3 leafs in late 94-95 check for the TSB.

i have a 4inch lift on my truck i kinda want to get rid of it and get a 6inch lift i could sell you the front leafs , axle brackets and u bolts all you would need is shocks. the leafs are about 2 months old and to me they improved the ride big time compared to my old saggy leafs.

i fixed mine by installing ride-rite air bags to the front now ride hieght is constant mt or loaded because i can adjust the amount of pressure to the load. easy install about 4 hours.

Hi shorthair,
Did the ride improve with the airbags?
Would you mind telling me how much they cost and where you got them?
Thanks,
Pigseye
