When you did this (lift the front) are you sure that there was nothing under the rear section of the frame, jack stands or something?
No, It wasn't but the more i think about this i think it makes for this to happen.. If i lay the truck out there is 3ish" gap between the top of the axle tube and the bottom of the notch. when i air up the front only the space decreases to 1ish". If you take a 2x4 and lift one end it put more force on the other end. So isn't this just the same principal? Its not really "moving" its just the weight is being distributed differently? Anyways, Any ideas on where to mount the shocks?
