    Hey guys...One more product from a 1959 Motor Trend magazine that I could really use. The company is still in business, but, sadly, they do not make this product anymore. My wagon is saggin'! Hellwig.jpeg

    My father installed them on his 55 Sunliner. You can add Gabriel Air Shocks. Some one on this site or the Ford group on the HAMB has the number. It’s too bad there a isn’t an Air-Lift kit like I have on my 2018 F-150.

    Fix it right - you need new springs

    That’s probably true. Actually an ez fix is to just add a longer one under the primary. It just needs to be an 1” or so longer than it one it is on top. Re-arching springs is a pita but I have done completes and also just 1 or 2 leaves n the bundle and raised a car about 1/2” which was what I wanted. An anvil an a 5lb single jack is all you need.
