Hey guys,

I'm new here, and I had a question about a installing a leveling kit. The reason the back of the truck rides higher is because of the load it has to carry, either in the bed, or bearing the weight of a trailer tongue, right? This weight levels the truck, right?

So my question is this: When the truck is under a load, and equipped with a leveling kit, does the rear of the truck sag below the front?

I should also mention that the reason I asked this was because I have seen a lot of trucks with sagging rear suspension as they tow, and I was wondering if this was why.

If it matters, my truck is a half ton with the 5.9L V8.
Thanks guys!

 

Yes the back will sit lower than the front with a leveling kit installed with a load.

 

Yep, even with a 2.5" mine still sags some.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. Nice trucks, by the way!
