take a bottle jack jason  and  jack up each wheel  and  see if the wheel bearings  are toast,  simple  wobble test

besides that  ,  you dont want  mono leaf  springs,  they are junk

make sure it has a 3 - 5 leaf  spring pack

does it have brakes  on both axles??

does the jack work??  does the  hitch  work ?/

if  all is  good  $350  is a steel of a deal :thumbs:

Not positive.  I didn't stop (on the way to moonrocks, already running late)

Only info I have is price, electric brakes, and a phone number :gap:

What do you mean by mono leaf springs?  Just one leaf per axle?

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
