I didn't think my were that bad till I got them apart. Shoes where cracked an falling apart. One cylinder was leaking, Anthe springs were rusted. The pins that held the shoe were bent an rusted, as we're the springs. Kit was like $8 at autozone. Well worth the money, I also degreased everything.

Thanks, Blue! That's another thing I'll get on my "to do" list. Your picture will help, too!

Lol I had to look in my manual at the pic for the springs a few times. Mine was weird the shoes were not worn much but glazed over feeling an breaking apart at the ends.

This was the drivers side with new cylinder on.

I cheated, this was last weekend. But I "installed" the 6" drop kit on the rear of my truck!

I'm going to guess with the bed full of dirt that it's just weighed down.
