However i noticed that the back of the truck sits higher than the front, and was VERY noticeable when we got the truck years ago. I know that the springs are worn on it and need replacing, but I also noticed a metal block under the springs in the rear that is not factory according to the 5 Dodge dealers I asked. I think that is correct as it also has a rubber axle/spring bumper. Like I said I will post pics sometime. My guess is someone stupid thought lifting the rear but not front would help with towing (and that wasn't us either)... Which if it truly is a lift removing it might really help with weight balancing, which is usually our worst enemy when towing with this truck, even when within rated towing capacity.
I'm listening to Chris de Burgh right now

Yah they are that's for sure. They have different springs.

I'm learning that dealers are usually poor places for service. Dodge, Ford, Chevy. Unless you know the "big guys" there. Only exception is ONE John Deere dealer in our area.

I would need pictures but there should be a 3in block with a "leg" (for lack of a better term) hanging off the inside for use with the factory bump stops on the fram.

US Cellular is getting annoying. Had trouble with my phone that is less than a year old

so I have a loaner phone now. And the funny thing is, that all the loaner phones I have had ALWAYS work good! So I'll be using this loaner for a couple of weeks now....

Yup, I was stuck in that pic. Wanna know why? I was driving SLOW, playin and finally got stuck, you should have seen the hole I dug on the driver side rear. Only got stuck once in the pit, once I came off the side at an angle and caught the gas tank.
But my lil open diff 2wd does pretty damn good, if I do say so myself.![Big Grin](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Least I'm brave enough to take my 2wd into the mud and snow... Better then those lifted 4x4's that are 100% pavement trucks
