I have a 1997 K1500 with what I think is just bad leaf bushings, but looking for support. I have owned the truck for over 16 years and have done very minimal light towing. I know my leaf bushings have stress cracks in them but no rear end lean of any kind. I am getting what I think is rear end sway, and notice it as I increase speed. I have the 3+1 springs and 267k on odo. Any thoughts on bad bushings vs bad leafs.

Make sure you don't have a broken belt in a tire. Than can cause a sickening rolling/swaying motion that will increase with speed.
