moog heavy duty spring install - no more rear sag

based on another thread here, i purchased some moog heavy duty rear springs for my 92 from autopartsgiant.com to fix the rear sagging. they have a noticeably higher spring rate with more coils per inch than the stock ones. my first attempt prompted me to abort and purchase some new shocks, since the old ones were disintegrating as i was taking them off. i went with tokico trek master R/Ts for 180 shipped off ebay, because i like tokico and i'm pretty brand loyal. and they're cheaper than bilsteins.

the total install took about 3 hours, including application of some rust bullet and hacking the old shocks off with a sawzall. i highly recommend the sawzall... it took about 10 minutes to cut through both at the upper bushing... it probably would have taken me hours to get the nuts off.

i also painted the wheels and replaced the tires between the before and after photos. no pictures of the install because it's pretty straight forward. just the finished product:

Good to see someone followed my lead with the Moogs.

I hope they treat you as well as they've been treating me. (And I hope they continue to treat me well).

What a difference between the two pics you posted! Your truck was sagging much worse than mine before the fix. Looks great now.
 
yeah, that was a great call with the moogs... much higher spring rates at stock height. and cheap too.

i didn't realize how much of a difference they made until i had uploaded the pics and compared them side by side. makes me kinda care about the rust bucket again.
