Problems with a saggy rear end. Need advice

[bryceba]

So I was taking some gravel down to my familys cabin to redo the driveway and I went to the quarry and told the loader to put in about 1000lbs of gravel. The guy loaded 3900lbs into my poor f250s bed. Since then I have been dealing with some sagging rear springs and it seems to lean to the right about an inch or a little more looking at it from the back. Here is my question/problem. I have to get new shocks for sure but I need to find a solution for the springs. I am debating on adding a lift with new rear springs, adding airbags to existing springs, or just getting new rear leafs.

I can get a 6 inch lift with rear springs and shocks for about 1100

I could get airbags and shocks for about 500 but Im not sure if airbags will really help the problem or fix it and increase safety

I could get new rear springs and shocks for about 700

ANY IDEAS????? IM stumped!!!!!!

Or I could just blow the truck up for the insurance money! jk. I actually just repented for joking around about that

air bags are great! but i would go back to the rock quarry and talk to them, show the problem you now have after you were overloaded.

haha no kidding. I think I might go down there and raise a little hell just for the entertainment if nothing else. I should talk to them about replacing my seat due to the brown stain that ruined it after pulling on that scale and seeing my weight

I'd probably replace the springs AND get the 4 wheel alignment checked if it was my truck.

if it was me i would just replace the springs but thats just my 02 with the air bags you gotta have a compressor and all the but idk

springs must be replaced.... either with a lift kit or with OEM... adding air bags to the existing springs will do nothing
