Okay, the vehicle:
92 larado, 4WD, Auto, 4.0, app. 157,000 (just fixed the speedo, so who knows!) Stock, except I run 225/70R15 tires.
The problem is the suspension is dead........sitting still it holds okay, but the slightest bump and it bottoms out. Upon jacking under an axle, the springs just collapse.....or so it seems. Sooooooo, what I want to do is replace the springs........front and rear....and keep it close (okay maybe a tad higher) to stock. What are your suggestions and guesses at the cost? I have access to a junkyard, that is friendly (mostly free) that I can pull stuff if that helps.
A little history, this is a junkyard rejuvination I am working on......I have replaced the brakes, master cylinder, front shocks, control arm bushings (lower), sway bar bushings (front), interior, windshield, speed sensor, and everything is working well!!!
Thanks in advance for your time and ideas!!
