E150 rear end sag
Hello everyone.
I have a 1999 E150 work van that I bought new. I admit that I probably have a little too much weight in it. The back end has always had a slight sag (lower than front end). I installed some leaf spring helpers a while back which helped stiffen it but did not give it any lift. Is there a simple way to raise the back end about 2" without breaking the bank
Thanks in advance

Probably the simplest and cheapest would be to remove some of the excess weight.
You could always install a couple air bags to assist with raising the vehicle slightly. Not sure of the cost though.
Another option would be to have a spring shop add an extra leaf to the springs and re-arch them.
Keep in mind that it is only a half ton vehicle (1,000 lbs) and any extra weight is taking it's toll on everything including the suspension.
