I recently purchased an 01 regular cab 6speed 4x4 Cummins. The front measures approximately 4” lower than the rear. Is this normal? I don’t have the extra blocks and spring that I believe is the camper special? I just have 3 leafs, with 1 overload underneath, and a 4-3/4 block under the leaf pack. Is 4” a factory amount of rake in these trucks? Are my front coils just warn out? I’m measuring 25-25.5 in front and 29-29.5 in rear. I do have a slightly heavier front bumper. I was going to add a coil spacer to get it closer to level but that will still leave me 1.5-2” low in the front. Which isn’t bad but I want to make sure my coils aren’t warn. What are you stock measurements if you have any? Thanks for any help! 

Wanted to ad it’s a 2500, and I measured from the center of the wheel to the fender on front and back.

    Not true.   I'm completely factory height, no lifts, had my front axle aligned back at 350k with my first set of tie rods. My truck has always had good lane holding. Hold center extremely we

  • Yep never do another a wild hair thing like that again. It was expensive and it wasn't right. I'd rather get a raise from my work any day

Nice, I'd like to have one like that but with a gooseneck. Dang things are pricey!

Last firewood haul I did on Sunday (October 4, 2020)... Level as you can get with 2 cords of red fire in the trailer.

Now if you have a 2 inch leveling kit and then hitched up the rear will pull down that 3 to 4 inches and the nose will appear to be high and the tail swatting. Really common out here lot of people do the lift kits but then when hauling a trailer their headlight are in your face in lo or hi beam mode. That the only part I really hate about lift or leveling kits.
