Hello, How many leafs do you have in your suspension. It could be that you just need new springs. 1999 was a long time ago and I'm sure that they have been used over the years. The 4 leaf is probably the most common with that year they run about $180 bucks per spring. Not including freight you can probably pick a new set up with all the hardware for $450ish
