Rear suspension
« on: January 25, 2008, 08:38:25 pm »
The rear of my truck sits 1-2 inches lower then the front.Is this normal or are my springs sagging.My truck is a 75 k10.

Nothing broke it has been like that since I got it.Do these trucks sit level or high in the back.My the spring are probably worn out.I wonder if they are under warranty they are only 33 years old.

my 76 2wd originally had a 454 but now has a 350 in it. With the 350 the front end now sits higher than the rear.

You can place an add a leaf in the back or a spacer. Spacer is easier and cheaper. I think autozone and the like have the in stock.
