Well Matt,
I've had the Skyjacker springs for a few years now and I've never been
happier with
the quality.  I don't have any major sagging problems.  I figure all springs
will sag...
But I haven't seen anything.  The back end does sit a little lower than the
front but
everyone I know has that problem regardless of what springs they have.  A
simple fix is
some extended shackles if you really don't like it.  From examining all the
springs out
there I was most impressed with Skyjacker.. there quality of metal was far
superior and
I thought there design was the best from what I saw.  Not to put any of the
others down..
I can't quite say there bad... just I pick Skyjacker for there product and
it's never let me
down.

Hope this helps...
