F-53 suspension sagging on passenger side
2001 Ford 5-53 (33 footer). The passenger side seems to sag about 1.5 to 2 inches. Investigating, sup-pliers tell me this is a "known problem" and there seems to be 3 fixes for this. 1- air bags ...

I elected to use Firestone air bags on the rear of my 95 F53.
They are only $319.99 for your chassis at SDTruckSprings.
The only draw back is checking the air pressure when checking the tires. Mine require some air every 30 days. Never could get them sealed up any better.
A spacer block will require an alignment hole on one side and an alignment pin on the other. It's not as easy as just whacking out a 4" piece of steel. Then you may need longer "U" bolts.
