Re: i think my front end is gettin saggy
I wouldn't use used u bolts, you should be able to get all 4 for less than 30 dollars at any parts store, but if you had money to spend I would get some new leaf springs since yours has over load spring that shouldn't be there or just leave it like is and fix the really bad things that are bad first

Re: i think my front end is gettin saggy
If I were you I would make a list for the K10.
In order of most important. Make the truck run correctly (tune up, check gaskets, etc) Stop it from leaking so much oil Stop worrying about things that dont matter much(leaf springs, new tailights, etc) Get a piece of paper and write all of it down, if you dont know what the problem is, ask. If the truck doesnt sound like a normal (305 or 350?), ask about it. From what I can see from one of your pics of your truck in the garage you leak a lot of oil, find out where it comes from, oil drain plug? Oil pan gasket? And one thing that comes in handy is Google web searches and Google image searches so I know what I'm looking at.

Re: i think my front end is gettin saggy
How about differentials? Pinion seals good? Cover gaskets good?
