Rear Suspension travel w/ DEAVERS HeLp
I put some new deavers on my truck last week and i just measured it to get new shocks. I used a jack directly under the lip of the area for a spare, bu the bumper...directly centered.. and at ride height it is 21 inches on the left side and 22.5 inches on the right from shock mount on the frame to the shock mount on the axel. That seams really weird to me. But the truck sits level, not tilted to the left or right side. Then fully extended, 27" on the left and 26 on the right from mount to mount. Thats 6 inches of shock travel on the left and 3.5 on the right...??? Whats up with that???? could someone explain it to me, or is my mounts bent or somehting? Does that make any cents?
thanks for any and all help. has anyone ever measured theres? and came up with crazy#'s?
o i measured from the centers of each mount bollts...

The angle you measured from can make a difference . I'd like to measure mine from a 12% incline but that has nothing to do with real world. How about some flat level pics nto dpur us along to helping you? Maybe you need some tortion crank , and or some leveling blocks. We're here to help.

I think that thats what happened when you buy cheap crappy deavers, Bryn. If you would of just gone with an add a leaf you wouldnt have any problems. Ha ha. What kind of shocks are you looking to invest in? Still want me to build you a bed cage? IM gonna start on mine in about a week, maybe 2...
