Dang, unless you got about 1,000 lbs of cargo in the back there.....that is some pretty bad sag. I'd replace the shocks and then reassess before addressing new springs. You may or may not determine you need them after that, but the shocks definitely sound like they're toast.

I am running km2 305 70 r16. Here is my original receipt from northridge 4x4.
It was just a package deal they were selling at the time.
So is my trouble shooting to just replace the shocks in the rear first and then see how it rides?

OK so i ordered rear shocks. Should I pull the upper bump stops completely and just run the lowers? what about the front? I think there is only uppers in the front and no lowers. If the ride improves but the sag is still present I will order the 618 coils and put them in next.
Thanks for the help and advice in advance.

If you're running a bumpstop style similar to factory, you need that foam piece on top in addition to the lower bumpstop extension that's sized to your particular lift if I'm understanding you correctly....

If you go to the top of this thread you will see the pics I took. I'm wondering if I should replace the uppers inside of the coil. The lowers are just a solid block it looks like.

If you feel like the upper foam pieces are worn, replace those. If you pull them out you'd have metal hitting the lower bumpstop and you don't want that. The foam part shoved up in the uppers compresses quite a bit and basically just stops the metal from hitting your bump. I'd imagine those can't be too expensive to replace if they are in that bad of shape.

Ok that's exactly what I needed to know. I will replace them also. Super cheap and mine are thrashed.
I am also keeping the lower bumpstops in place. They do not look worn out since they are just blocks of rubber. They are in the picture at the top of the thread also.
So new shocks, new coils that are 618, new upper bumpstops and leaving the lowers in place. Running 305 70 r16 and hoping this solves everything.
