Default I have a queston.

It snowed about a foot an a half here and i was driving around alot to eather shovel driveways for moeny or just to slide around in my truck. I noticed this morning that my rear susspension was squating alot. I could be paranoid but does anybody no why this would happen.
P.S. there is no snow in my bed.

Like everyone else, shocks are the only thing I can think of here. Give them a good once over.

Does your truck have stock shackles? I've seen a shackle come out of mount and drop the wheel well to the tire.

Just wondering,
If a boken rear shock would make a truck set lower. My question is,
is the weight of the truck setting on the shock and not on the springs?
