So what do you all think of the 'add a leaf spring' option? Several online companies sell these and they're similarly priced - sounds like it would increase the support by about 2300 lbs.
Probably will replace the shocks as well, although I see no signs of leaking etc...
Add-a-springs would have been a decent option when your rig was new. But your rear-end has been overloaded all its life. You really just need new, better spring packs for your rig. Keep the airbags for fully loaded travel, bu the leaf springs should be able to support the empty rig at proper ride height.
FWIW - I bought replacement springs for my rig at my local salvage yard for $50.
