Sagging Question
 
67 GMC 305E much abused truck with a sag to the drivers side.... Do you think this is from weak springs or shocks... Thinking of replacing both ,,,, What else should I be on the look out for Thanks...

I think you answered your own question. C1500? Truck unloaded, measure the distance from the rear axle tube to a reference point on the frame on both pass and driver sides. I doubt the leaf springs are unevenly "sprung". Could be a front coil also. Only way to determine what's out of whack is get under there and start measuring. Are the body mount rubber bushings rotted and causing the cab/front clip to sag? If so, the bed will be level w/ground and cab will be off-kilter.

Glad this is about springs. Just reading the title, I assumed you were bashing the little lady....but those can be repaired also.....so either way, we got you covered.

Just when you look at it from the front the drivers side is down lower... Whats the best place to measure to....
