I bought the truck about a month ago and got royally f'ed. I've forked out about 6k now into it and have been out of work almost the whole time (apart from a week on and off total)
Bags look to be OEM maybe even original, looks like the leveling valve is OEM if not original. I'm swapping that today but even still I dont think the drive train should ever be that close to the cross member.
I'm going to check the leafs today. Dealer told me about $235 per rear leaf. Which there is 4.
My only option might be just to take light loads until I save money to figure out what the issue isJohny41 Thanks this. -
There's a good high tech shop called Jossam in Orlando, FL, they have all kind of videos on YouTube specialized in frame alignment problems.newdriver2 and PE_T Thank this. -

do a rigdig report see if its been turned over. you should have done on before you bought the truck tho.
newdriver2 Thanks this. -
Im sorry about picking on such a minor detail, but it caught my attention. That poor truck must have arthritis all the time... maybe that's why she squatted down when it's enough is enough back there.
I see signs of more grease that has slowly dried out since 2007. No one cared enough to love on that poor truck to wipe away the old grease and replace it with fresh.
And that frame tells me no one has given it any love at the Blue Beacon or some such. Bet you some of those bolts are loose enough now to spin by hand. Or opposite rusted to frame pernamently.newdriver2 Thanks this. -

Step 1
buy 4 pressure gauges and put 1 on each airbag.
Cheap and you can do it yourself.(inside or outside the cab ,as you see fit)
Will rule out any fault with the airsupply to the bags.
Step 2
The plate above the axle,fixed to the frame with the 2 bolts,is there rubber or rubber traces on bottom off them?
My geuss is they are stopblocks .
newdriver2 Thanks this.
