I haven't seen a lot of that on these trucks. Has yours hauled a lot of weight or had a rough life?

not too bad, I haul alot, often, but this was first noted at 5000 miles, before I even put dog food in it, it has not seemed to get worse, but it set about 3 inches shorter than before

Mine 04.5 did, put in an add a leaf for about $110 now the rear is a bit higher, sits level with my trailer on it. Can't remember if it was a superlift spring or a skyjacker.... the sticker was black and yellow.

if anyone hauls more then 40% of the time, get Air bags. They are suspension savers!!!

thanks yall, I looked into air bags, but the only place locally was an rv dealership, and they are very proud of them unless you purchased something like a $50k rv

It seems like my whole truck settled a couple of inches, and it has only towed light a few times. Well, it's towed a twin jet ski trailer a whole bunch of times, but the toungue weight on that is like 100 pounds.
