I have a 79 Power Wagon which I believe was set up as a Snow-Commander.How can I tell?? Also the truck sets a little crooked in the front and a little higher in the front compared to the rear.I was looking at the blocks under the front for the lift (Factory I believe??). The blocks on the front are the same size but one sits on the edge of the differential(passenger side). This seems to be what has the truck unlevel in the front end. Was there a factory lift using these block? and was one of the blocks suppose to be about 1/4-3/8shorter to compensate for there position on the axle?? I want to get the front leveled up so I can raise the back up to be a couple of inches higher than the front. Do you have any suggestions to getting the back end up higher. I don't think it needs new spring but I'm not sure. I have thought of putting on air shocks or coil assisting shocks to bring it up in the rear. Some people have told me to replace
>the rear leaf springs but I am afraid that I will spend the money and have it sitting the same way especially if it was set up stiffer in the front for a plow.Any help would be greatly appreciated. New springs are about $300, air shocks $100 and the local suspension shop wants $350-400 to add leafs to get it set up right. Thanks,Eric
