ya gavin, air spring, wich are just basically a load levelling suspension....or add a leafs, or bigger springs....

another way, lower the front down


or another way, weld in a peice of steel so there is no movement in the rear....

set it on jacks to the height u want and weld in steel...makes for a very very rouph ride, but u wont sag...lol


best idea is air suspension leveling kit or add a leafs, if its leaf springs(a little drunk and dont wanna think...lmao)

cheapst idea is weld in some steel tubeing from axle to frame..

kepp up the good work, and good luck

Solid rubber springs. They work great and bolt in really easy. Less hassle then air for use and less cost/time for install
