Shocks or leaf springs are having problems it would seem.

Checked your tire pressure?

Is there some reason why QuadCabLuv refuses to add the info about the truck to his sig and profile?????????? Any chance it's a 4x4 and the snap ring is broken in the TC?

I added the info months ago. It shows it in my sig when im on my desktop but not on mobile. It is a 2wd with stock rear and 174k miles. Is there a method for checking condition of the diff besides pullimg cover off and visually inspecting?

And it has been a couple of weeks since i checked my tire pressure but it doesnt look low. Shackles and bushings appear to be fine. I think my gears are jusy going...what would be a upgrade from my factory set that would be good for towing? Maybe something easy to find sexond hand, like the rear outta a 4wd?

That's why you have to add the info to your "profile" also(when you are posting from the phone). This way at least some important info will show up on the upper left of your posts.

As far as the leaning goes, that is most likely front or rear springs or both. Maybe a rotted bed mount too.


The upper right I meant.

And that seal is not a problem if it is not leaking. May want to tap that edge back flush though.

that tug i was getting turned out to be a bad wheel bearing. Luckily i had one and a hub on hand that i bought new about 1 yr ago just in case. lol. I figured this out when i checked my brakes to find they were completely gone and some needle bearings fell out.
