ok, I will put my 2 cents in.
I am a newbie but I do alot of landscaping and haul alot of wet dirt. I know what you are saying about rear bumper being 2 inches off the ground and trying to go faster then 40mph, you get a speed wobble. Scary times.
I looked at MONROE Part # 58567 but do to money I went with spring helpers. Cut Rate auto parts $40 for 2 1/2 inch wide leaf, able to carry 1200lbs. I had stock spring helpers on there all ready. I put the new ones on, I hand to take off the stock ones. I added the new helpers. I raised the rear end up higher then I ever would have tought. If I had to guess, It raised to 3 to 4 inches. You can now see the frame rail above the tire. Stock tire size. It also raised the front end 1 to 2 inches. It rides like a real truck now, rough. but I can haul almost anything I want.

I still have the spring box, PM me if you want more info

Thought i would post some pictures so you all can see what the situation is at the moment.



and this is with only 50 lbs of stuff in the bed. (toolbox and tie downs)

well, it took me 5 months, but i finally got the sag problem under control (as of the moment)

i ended up going with a set of monroe sensa-trac load leveling shock absorbers - P/N 58567.

at the moment, the springs are arched like they were when i bought the truck. At the most, it's a temporary fix, but it definitely helps with the sag and ride quality. just wanted to update this situation. now, onto the other issues!
