I have the same problem with my '93 Maverick. No lift , but running16' rims & 33' tyres. Would a visit to Pedders for the $14 check over be worthwhile ??

Bought this as is, 4.2 Diesel. Plan to do a 2" body lift to "balance" the appearance of the large wheels.
The UHF is mounted in the centre console so may move it into the dash.
Is there an online tutorial for replacing springs / shocks ? Also wouldn't a 2" body lift (polyurethane spacers ) cure the problems with sagging at a fraction of the cost?
