weak spring

i have a v6 extended cab with a 4 inch lift, i blew a tire a while ago the cords broke in it and it had a hump in it. and i was going down the belt way and it was like i had a egg shaped tire but could tht have made my spring go weak or the add a leaf none of the springs are broke. would i just be able to put a new add a leaf in it ? and be fine the truck sags about 1 1/2 inches on the driver side looks like shit

I can't see any way a bad tire could relate to a spring problem.

However, AALs have been known to.


How do you know you don't have a cracked or broken leaf?
Did you disassemble and inspect each leaf in the pack?

well the tire looked like and egg oval shapped and i was doing 80 down the belt way and it was like the truck was a giant paint shaker and the spring was going up and down fast and hard i havent taken the springs apart but i guess i could try that i just looked at them to see if they were cracked or broke

Yeah... Look at each leaf spring in the pack. I bet there are some cracks from the bone jarring ride... why did you drive it after you noticed the egg shaped tire?
