Re: sagging rear leaf spring
Well if you like the softer ride then don't add a leaf. I've worked in a spring shop for the last 10 years and see stuff like this all the time....just rearching the springs may not last. It'll depend a lot on what you do with the cart. At the same time springs are really cheap. You could just put a pair in and forget it....

Re: sagging rear leaf spring
My cart has the same issue yours does. I noticed that the driver's side was a little lower than the passenger side (rear end only) prior to installing a lift. I purchased a new lift, springs and shocks. After the install I still had an issue with the driver's side looking lower than the passenger. I am guessing it is the body but haven't really looked into the issue. Keep us updated on what you find out.

Re: sagging rear leaf spring
If the springs are in good condition,not rusted/pitted and only sagging a small amount,Rearching will cure it,and if done properly will last as long as a new spring.We do tons of build-ups and resets every day and haven't had any complaints/comebacks about the springs settling back down.The shop has been in buisiness since the 50s' and we even manufacture our inventory in-house from raw bar-stock to tempering/forming,and assembly.If you have a shackle or bushing frozen,that can cause the lean as well.Hope this helps.

Re: sagging rear leaf spring
I don't l I've in a big city here, what do I ask a shop to see if they even will do a re-arch of the spring?

Re: sagging rear leaf spring
They will need both springs,as they won't have info to go off of for the proper arch.They will measure both and set the lower one the same as the other.When you remove the springs,set them on the floor,upside-down next to each other.You should see a difference in height between the 2 if one has lost arch.If not,either the spring is weak(replace)or something else is damaged on the cart.
