    My eyes could be playing a trick on me everytime I see a T600-660, but the rear suspensions look like they're sagging to me. I have a picture of a truck I loaded to test my theory. It sat like that before we began loading it as well. I have also seen some T2k's display this "sag" as well. Please enlighten. Me, or just tell me I'm blind.

    I have seen lots of this on the road, it looks like the tractor is running up hill all of the time. I have often wondered if the suspension height adjustment was correct. If not then it is easy to correct, if it is correct then that's just the way the truck was designed.

    Off the subject here, but how do you post the pics on here, have not figured this out yet? Wanting to post one of my Ride on my Profile, and have seen some post it on the bottom of their post. Thanks in advance for the advice!

    The company I work for has a lot of t-680 and they all look like that. Don't know why but I think it looks cool. :)

    Take a look here, RTR. Hmmm, OK, that isn't complete, here is what it says:
    But what it doesn't tell you, is that it doesn't work in the "Quick Reply" mode. You need to click on the "Go Advanced" button under the quick reply box. Then follow the directions.
     
    RTR Thanks this.

    I can vouch that it isn't the suspension ride height.. I had to replace the valve on my T660 about a year ago. The drive line is perfect when the torsion bars are parallel to the frame or level surface.. I thought it was my tires and were going to put low pros on the front, and tall rubber on the back.. made no difference.. I'd have to put 22.5lp on the front and 24's on the back to make it look level.. Someone said it had something to do with the lo pro air bags paccar uses,

    I'm going to side with the factory design case. Talked to a T2000 owner that also says his truck has always sat that way too.

    our T680 always looks like it's sagging...not sure what's up with that but it's an easy fix by adjusting the airbag ride height sensor rod.
