left side sag
New kid here. Here's a shot of my baby, an '86 Silverado. Mostly stock. What's the cheapest easiest way to level the suspension to take out the 1"-1 1/2" sag in the left rear corner? Also what's the recomended way. I don't care to lift it, just level it. thanks.

It may be the fuel tank causing that?

It has a 40 gal tank mounted on center so that wouldn't be it. I've looked arround undernieth for an obvious answer with no luck.

If it isn't the body mounts, then that is just how the spring ended up settling.

sounds like the springs are worn out.i would just buy 4 new stock height springs. most suspension companys carry them, exactly for your situation. I know that s10's always have a slight driver side sag in them, but i think it is the gas tank with them cause its mounted on the outside of the frame on the driver side.
