keith, thanks for your expertise and explanation re shocks. as i mentioned i seriously have zero clue when it comes to vehicles. i am a total newbie!

rich thanks for clue as to sag and tips. should i look into replacing spring or just abide by tips to reduce appearance of sag? also, thank you for axle identification.

i will include rear axle photo as well as i assume it is also a gm 10 bolt?
Replace hoses, calipers, pads and discs. No sense not doing the discs while you are in there. They're cheap, and will be differently worn due to the existing braking issue.

I keep a few hundred pounds of chipped rock in the back to throw under the tires during the winter if I get stuck. These come in 40# bags. If you do something similar, just stack them on the RH side of the bed. The sag will even out.

The rear diff looks like a Dana 35 to me. Not sure.
