<P>Not sure how smart it is but I used those on my '91 Westy and it solved that (sagging front&nbsp;left) problem and also stabilized my ride. I don't get the sway I used to, but I had also replaced the shocks. Ride is firmer but not harsh or bouncy. It handles better at hiway speeds in cross-winds. Those things are also made out of very hard rubber and those are likely to stay in a little better. I used two of the metal kind on each spring on opposing sides of the spring.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;i was wandering around an autozone the other nite and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;happened across somthing that caught my eye, i think
<DIV></DIV>&gt;they were called spring boosters, looked like big
<DIV></DIV>&gt;hunks of iron to me. anyway, they go in the springs
<DIV></DIV>&gt;and i would think they could level my sagging vans
<DIV></DIV>&gt;rear end. they were only five bucks and i almost got
<DIV></DIV>&gt;them, but figured i would save the dinero for now and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;ask the list if anyone had ever used or tried these
<DIV></DIV>&gt;things before?????
