Aftermarket Rear Springs to Prevent Sagging?

[Brock]

I have a BS BB. I am towing a Aliner camper. The rear of BS drops somewhat and front raises which is normal for any suv or truck. I cannot install a weight distribution kit as I would on a truck because Ford receivers are not rated for it. Has anyone replaced rear springs that would be better than stock to keep from sagging? Or used bags on rear.

How much does your camper weigh?

1800 lbs

Your tongue weight should not be much more than 200 lbs. The back of the BS should not sag noticeably with that much tongue weight. Maybe time to move some stuff around in the storage areas of the camper to even out the distribution?

I haven't yet, but these are going on eventually. I had a set of air springs on a pickup truck and they were perfect to aid the suspension when heavily loaded.

Mark, I just bought a set of airlift 1000 for my Bronco. $120 and do in tomorrow. I did a lot of research and this company seems to be very good. Out of Michigan and a business since 1955. I’m sure this will take care of sagging from book enough camper. I’ll post after I install.
