Default w250 suspension sagging x-cab 92

the front left leaf seemed to be saggin a bit.. i purchased the skyjacker 2 1/2 lift kit for it installed the fronts spring and shocks....well the front seems to be pretty much level now...but noticed the back left to be lower also..the lift kit came with add a leafs for the rear but there is no point in putting them on yet if i have to get new leafs or newer leafs...is this a problem with these trucks usually..it has 236k miles on it and has a gooseneck hitch so someone down the line use to pull with it..

which rear leafs will bolt up directly from a newer gen truck and keep the same ride hight?

thanks

you should be able to get about any spring pack you want made brand new for only a couple hundred from a spring shop.....if getting new ones made make sure you get more thin leaves than the stock pack, it will keep the same height or a little more and ride ALOT better, Skyjacker springs have always had a problem with sagging, wether it be coild or leaf, gas or diesel......

check to make sure none of the springs are cracked in the pack, chances are that is your problem one is cracked and you cannot see it...i doubt that any of the springs from the newer trucks will fit..different axles and what not
