hitting the bumpstops is causing my leafs to wear out
#1
ok my truck has a 4 inch rear drop and the bump stops are trimmed they might be about an inch and half long... it seems as since the 6 months ive had it the leafs have lost their arch from bending over the bumpstops...
the drivers side is actually resting on the bumpstop and the passenger side is about a 3/4 inch away from it. im guessing this is due to the extra weight from me and the gas tank causing it to hit the bump stops with more force causeint them to de arch more then the right side..
does this make sence? or can someone come up with a better reason for my rearend to be sagging. the only weight my truck has ever seen is from the tonneau cover.
is this something the dealer should fix (the drop was installed by them). or what can i do cause this will only happen again if they replace my leafs
has anyone else seen this problem?

Springs do settle a bit over time, but it shouldn't be that much in that short of a time. Do you have any measurements to tell how much exactly that its settled? I've heard of some people needing a c-notch with a 4 in. drop. That will give you more clearance but sorry I don't know what to tell you about the sagging like that.

well as long as it isnt unheard of to need a c notch for a 4 inch drop then its fine. as for the measure ments befrore the drop i dont have them but if you want mesurements to what its sitting at now just let me know.
