Well, mines 9mos old and I only have 3500 miles on mine. Just thought I would try to make you guys feel better . But, I do live on campus and work is about 3 mi away. Anyway, back on the original topic, ya I definitely think its the grille guard. Given the rediculously soft suspension on our trucks, it wouldn't surprise me if it was sagging a bit.

 

OK i'll get a pic of it and show you which bar I mean...it's the very bottom one...so it isn't hard to get to...

 

Wow, I'm right up there with you two with mileage. I've had mine since July 21 and I have almost 17,500 on it (it'll hit 17,500 on my way home today). I drive 82 miles round trip M-F for work, plus all my weekend and evening activities.

Mine front end, like everyone else's sinks a bit, but I bet your's, Jimbo, is lower b/c of all the crap you got on the front...the lights and grille guard are probably just enough to make it more noticable with our soft suspension.

My back suspension seems relatively soft, too. Every time I have the trailer on, loaded or empty, it always seems to sag a bit. The equalizer bars sometimes aren't even enough to even it out.

 

I would measure for you but I have the leveling kit. The front sits way to low. I honestly dont think it has to do with whats mounted on the front jimbo, thats not THAT much weight. its The combination of the rake these trucks have, the low ground clearance, and the extra length in the nose designed with those longer crunch bars for a better crash rating that makes the front look so damn low. It sucks.

 

9.5 inches if you are talking bout the cross member bar

 

ok yes I think that's what it's called. Thanks! Mine seems to sit lower...lemme go measure

*runs outside to measure*

yeah...mine is only 8.5"....could that mean my shocks are going out?

 

I got a TRX4 that might be the inch diff. I have no idea, generally the spring makes the ride hight and the shock just dampens the blows I don't think they would make a diff. in ride height.

 

no, the springs is what holds it up not the shocks, the shocks just dampen the movement of the springs going up and down

 

I have an 06 w/ 1500 mi. 4x4 w/ 245/70s. 8.75"
