How do you know that it's the rear springs that are causing the rear to sag?
It could still be the front. B's tend to lean to the left, and my own humble
but usually correct opinion is that it is a reflection on thier drivers who
can't spel but care a lot.
I had to replace my rear springs because they were more like linguini than
springs and I've still got a liberal B. I wouldn't call it radical left, but
it's not voting for term limits. Replacing either set is easy enough to do
in a gravel driveway with a couple of jackstands and a scissors or hydraulic
jack, and don't forget the soap on the bushes or you'll be sorry.
