Default Leaf Springs

94 K1500 ext cab. I noticed the other day that my left rear leaf spring sags. I measured the axle to the frame and there is a 3/4" difference from the left side to the right side. I never haul anything heavy in the back. Anybody know a fix for this? Am I looking at new springs? If so where could I get new springs?

autozone or local dealer parts store.........even if you havent hauled things if you have been offroad allot or on poor roads at higher speeds it can cause damage(i need new shocks due to rough road mine is a 1995 c3500)

you culd also find a place that will rearch the springs for you like a shop that deals with off road stuff. do you drive in the truck bye youself most of the time? most likely the sag is caused by there being more weight on that side for much longer then both sides at the same time.

I talked to a friend of mine and he said the same thing, since I drive by myself and the fuel tank is located on the left side so the left spring wears out before the other. He said its pretty common for chevys to do this. I never go four wheeling or haul anything in the back.
