the fact that its sitting lower than normal ??
you can get them reworked but if its a comman problem, like we have had with our navarra's, then adding or replaceing the main leaf is the first thing to do.

Having sagged out springs can be a benefit...sure you will have lost ride height...but you gain flex. Throw in extended shackles and you will gain a little in ride height but still have the flexy leaf pack.

Extended shackles are just normal shackles but have a greater distance between the 2 pins.
Drop shackles are the things superior engineering and climax make.
