    Stock suspension. This is how my leafs (leaves?) looked yesterday:

    Truck has a canopy, and had about 200lbs of weight in the bed. So about 350-400lbs total on the rear end.

    Even with an empty bed, the leafs sit flat. Don't think it used to be this way. Truck has 5500km (3400miles) on it. Is this expected/normal?

    Yup that is how they are designed. OEM Garbage, does your truck sit level with the canopy on? If not I would do some air bags or a 3 leaf 1.5 Progressive AAL. My 2015 Sport after 6 months the leafs were doing a reverse C.

    Thanks for confirming. It's a very different look from how it was originally, so I wasn't sure.

    "Reverse C" - that's a good description. I was wondering how to explain what I'm seeing.

    I think that rather than going with an AAL, I want to put OME Dakars on. Going to post yet another suspension thread in a min.
