Rear leaf springs

We have a 2004 F250 super duty 4dr diesel and have owned and used it for towing fifth wheels since it was new. It seems that our rear springs are getting weak. Has anybody had this problem or had to replace their rear springs. I am not exactly ready mentally or financially for the Dually speech. LOL. Oh bye the way this truck has made numerous trips across Louisiana .

    All I know is that if you have access to a spring shop, they can re arch your current springs, and/or advise you on possibly a heavier leaf in the mix to stop it from happening again.
  • You can have them re arched or add a helper leaf or Timbrens
