    Well this is my truck, and it's currently sitting on wrangler 31" with stock rims. This is the way I bought it. I keep thinking it looks leveled, and I was wondering if you guys might be able to tell by looking at it?

    I can take a picture of the suspension later, I just can't get to it now.

    Looks a little lifted to me but then again I'm used to looking at my truck's severely tired suspension.

    It looks like it has a tiny bit of rake also. Hard to tell with the camera angle though.

    Holy crap.

    Your rear springs almost look new (based on the rake).

    Either that or your front coils are beyond shot.

    Bone stock. For now.
    I don't see a spacer in there. I'm guessing it's all stock, unless you have adjustable struts.

    Looks stock to me. I think it looks leveled because of the aftermarked fender flares

    No my leafs are frowning, it has had a stance like that since I've owned it. I just don't see buying more stock springs when I plan to lift soon.

    Thanks for all of your opinions so far guys I really appreciate it.

    And also thank you for the compliments, I appreciate them very much as well!

    Well were in the topic of lifting and leveling: I'm thinking about getting a tube bumper up front and a tube bumper in the rear, do tube bumpers weigh enough that I would have to worry about sag?

    Well I finally got some pictures of my suspension, doesn't appear to be lifted to me, but I'm no expert. Also I know it's rusty lol sy7aquju_52aaeafb31d4048804d6d70274cfaf1875675735.jpgazegeja4_fd8411ac960d98a188993dfdb645d45ab8348e74.jpg

    Looks bad if you're from Mississippi :D

    Up here in Northern Michigan that's what a truck 4-6 years old looks like. It's sad, one of the main reasons I want to move is because of the rust.

    Hi Sam! :wave:. Looks stock to me, but someone correct me if I'm wrong, but his truck is missing a leaf spring. Mine has 3 leafs and an overload. I only see 2 leafs

    OP you're definitely missing a leaf spring. Someone has removed one from the pack, or replaced it with a 2+1 pack instead of OEM 3+1
