OK, after unloading everything from Moab, I have noticed my truck leaning really bad to the passenger rear. Have looked under it and examined the spring pack and can not find any broken springs or anything. When you try and push down on the rear, it pretty much wont go down, or even up for that matter.

Did jack up the rear and then put it back down and it seemed more level but after I drove it to work this morning it looked like this agian.



A friend at work thinks I blew the Rancho 9000 shock, or bent the shaft, could that be the case? Took it over to the shop that was to determine if my front coils went bad and they are going to check out the rear too. Should know later today what's up.

It looks like a spring snafu to me.. The shock, even if blown, wouldn't cause the truck to droop like that as it provides no support. Look at your T-Bars too, a snapped adjuster can cause severe lean like that also.

If the shaft is bent it might holding the truck in that position, but you would think it would have to be very bent...I'm pretty sure its not your t-bars.

I think he can rule out T-bars.
Disconnect the shocks at one end and see if it levels. Work teh shocks by hand to see if they move as they should.

Center a jack under the front and jack it up. It it still leans, it is the rear packs.

Jack up the rear from the center. A tall hi-lift may do it from the bumper. Same thing; is it still leaning?

That is the only way I know of to isolate the problem.

LOL, D'OH! (damned SFA sumbitches..)

Did you scheck your chackles and the U-bolts?

Spring eye bushings might have given up the ghost too...that's happened to me with the stock packs.

Don't listen to them. It's the t-bars for sure

I hope it's not the front. That would suck.

Issue with the no bounce is the adjuster on the 9000 shock got knocked to the highest setting, thus really stiff. The shop could not find anything wrong with the rear springs.

Instead they blamed the issue on the front coil which is what I took it to them for. The manufacture (Radflo) wanted them to measure the springs fully decompressed. They did and emailed Radflo back but haven't heard yet what the result is. He re-adjusted the front coil and the truck is sitting pretty much normal with the exception that the front passenger spring is compressed about 3/4" more than the driver.

you still have the stock packs in there? I say leave the gangster lean.

I'd say spring pack. My wifes old HB springs went south and I replaced them and added overload (add-a-leaf) to them before putting them on.
