I noticed this morning that my 2001 DII's right rear was sagging noticeably after being parked on a level ground. After I drove the car to work (15 miles) and parked, it was back to normal, but when I checked the car during lunch hour it was sagging again. I remember reading some post from the old archive about SLS going bad (though I'm having little luck searching the archive). Does this sound like the symptom for a faulty SLS? Is there an easy fix? Thanks in advance.

sounds like you may have a small leak somewhere. Replace the o-rings on the hoses first and clean out the assembly.
I think someone put "fix-a-flat" in their springs once. i woudlnt reccomend this, but it may be a good quick fix if stranded.

Why? have you read the thread about sloppy service? If its just o-rings which it probably is, then try that first. minimum down time of the truck. if you take it to a dealer it may be a week before they know what is wrong with it, then just replace the whole system or some bs. if changing the o-rings doesnt work and a cause cant be found, then take it to a dealer as a last resort. of course they may just say, "well you took it off road and abused it so you caused the leak and have to shell out $$$ for an all new system, or $800 to convert to coils."
Considering replacing SLS to coils
Has anyone done this? Is this a DIY project for a technical novice like myself? What are the parts that are needed other than the obvious springs/shocks? Will changing to coils affect the ride quality? Thanks.
