No problem.

An add a leaf adds strength, stiffness, and height.

Does your Rango have a towing hitch? It makes me think that your rear end is sagging. It could be from towing too much, in which case your springs could be sagging. New shocks might not help that much, if your truck is rubbing. :/ do you have pictures of the rear end? It just doesn't sound right.

A block under the spring in the front could give you a bit of lift, depending on what you want. It just lifts the spring more. The rear could get a lift kit, where the brackets that connect the leaf springs to the tram are extended anywhere from 1 inch to 3 inches. An add-a-leaf adds another leaf spring which raises the rear end from 1-3 inches depending on the spring you get, but if you're not towing stuff, I'd avoid it, as it will make your rear end stiffer, and cause a rougher ride. Get on eBay, there's all sorts of kits if that's the route you want to go.

 

Yes, I have a hitch, but I haven't towed much yet, maybe once or twice. I might be towing a lot this summer, so I need to have a tow friendly solution. I'll get some pics later, but it doesn't look like its sagging, the leafs look normal and the Durango sits level.

I think my best bet for the moment might be a 1 inch block in the front, and a shackle to raise the rear 1 inch until I know for certain if I'll be towing or not, then I could mess with the leafs if I need an improvement for towing.

I'll start looking around.

 

Sounds like you have a plan. Good luck! Hope we helped somehow!

 

Mostly a plan. I'm gonna find out how feasible it is to find a 1 inch spacer for the front suspension and the correct shackle to raise the rear 1 inch.
If anybody knows where to find these parts or similar ones, and could give me the links, it would be greatly appreciated!

 

You can lift the front end by turning the keys. Then adding a leaf to the rear may help.

How are your shocks? I know my Durango sagged when I got it. Took the shocks out to replace em and they had no gas in them. They just free floated anywhere you wanted them to with little effort.

New shocks all around and truck was once again level and sitting up a tad higher.

 

It's a 2WD, I thought I didn't keys or torsion bars to mess with?

If the symptoms of bad shocks are sagging, then I think mine are in good shape. Mine sits level with no sag.

 

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t have torsion bars.. then again I’m not the smartest with suspension parts. I’m more of an electronics/interior kinda guy.

Do you know how to test your shocks? How do they look? Also what shocks did you get (if you purchased them)? Most people get the cheapest stuff the autopart store sells and well... good luck with that.

 

4wd has torsion bars 2wd has coil over springs.

 

Interesting. I wonder what the difference is from coils vs t bars.

 

Meh, six of one half a dozen of another. I think the only real difference would be the torsion bars would be easier to adjust where springs would have to be changed or modified with blocks/cut.
