Rearend sag

[rkwjunior]

Got home today from work to notice my 2010 Scab saggin down towards driver rear. Got a tape measure and measured 8.5 on the sagging side and 10.750 on the high side. It is parked on a slightly tilted driveway towards the driverside, but i never noticed it on the 2004 Dodge i use to have. Any input on this?

Full tank of gas?

i believe its half??

im gonna go for a ride and park on a flat surface and see what happens.

This is the first used car ive bought so im paranoid about issues, the sag looks pretty budget though.

Raptor's are known to sag on the driver side due to weight of gas on that side. Suspension is soft as designed. Or shocks just need to be rebuilt. How many miles on it and was it taken off-road much?

It is due for a shock rebuild, 45k on her, bought it with 43k. Not sure if it was off roaded, still on lower perch, and no signs of bottoming out on the stops.

I took it out for a quick ride and parked on level ground, measurements were better, 9.75 and 10.625 off the top off the tire to flare.

Shocks will have nothing to do with ride height

post some pics of the truck from the side and get us a shot of the leaf springs. stock leafs? maybe the leaf springs are sacked out. good excuse to get some aftermarket springs!
