Re: Sagging Question

I think you answered your own question. C1500? Truck unloaded, measure the distance from the rear axle tube to a reference point on the frame on both pass and driver sides. I doubt the leaf springs are unevenly "sprung". Could be a front coil also. Only way to determine what's out of whack is get under there and start measuring. Are the body mount rubber bushings rotted and causing the cab/front clip to sag? If so, the bed will be level w/ground and cab will be off-kilter.
