GEN 2 Is my rear suspension failing?

[TROY JEUP]

Picked up a scissor lift and noticed the rear suspension is sagging like hell and I really don't think this is much weight. 5k miles on the truck.

I understand having a trailer on this truck is not its intended purpose but this is kind of ridiculous. Almost like the shocks are bottomed out

That lift weighs almost 2800lbs. This isn't that surprising.

Those scissor lifts are heavy. Center the lift over the trailer axles and get some weight off of the tongue.

Well...there's the problem /thread

Lol.. the hitch was from the rental place. Would be nice to have an air suspension in the rear to adjust when there is load.

Good way to keep people from stealing it I guess. Like others have said. Move the load back over the axles more to take weight off the tongue.

Yeah tongue weight is pushing down on the softy suspension. Move the lift towards the back to distribute the load better.

Thank God you don't have a 5.4 or that trailer wouldn't be going anywhere...
