Lucky you didn't break something.

 

^thats what I was thinking. I thought I might've ripped the driveshaft off the pinion yoke or something. Won't be doing that again.

 

I'm pretty sure the 4wd's are a bit higher in the front then the 2wd's....

 

Just for vdub, the VW Superbowl Commercial:

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

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

 

The 4x4's have a factory 3in block under the springs. So whoever tells you that it's not factory needs to be shot.

 

So what about the rubber spring bumper?

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.

 

Sounds like what I have. Will post pic later.

US Cellular is getting annoying. Had trouble with my phone that is less than a year old . Took it in to the store and they couldn't even get it to turn on or unlock the screen!!!!! ROFL... The guy goes, Well that's NOT a bad battery. That's a defective phone....

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....

 

As I recall you pussed out on making a beer run a week or so ago because it was snowing and you were afraid to take your 2wd out in it...
