Leaning after Off roading

that is good to know. this is my daily driver so i want to get it back on the road and even asap. this lean/squat is going to put uneven wear on the tires so that’s my rush.

do you recall the price for the custom leaf packs from deaver for your 21?

 

You can get leaf packs from any major off road company. I run icon rxt leaf pack and have been quite happy with them.

 

Love that color. Although CSM is best. ( my color) . You need a new leaf spring. Which makes no sense to replace just the FUBARed one. Try to go with the smallest if not any block if you off road aggressively. Once a leaf spring is compromised like that its basically trash. Even if that spring is re-arched, it will absolutely do the same thing.

 

yeah don’t think i would ever try and utilize the bent one again. getting new ones for sure without blocks

 

Holy blocks Batman! How was the ride quality before this issue?

 

your u-bolts look like they are different angles. maybe they are loose and stretching your suspension out rotated the u-bolt on the axle.

 

Good catch. Honestly, probably shouldnt have gone straight to wheeling it. New U bolts are supposed to be retorqued after 500 miles.

Would be awesome if thats the fix.

 

I have the same issue. Did the new leaf packs fix this?

 

How is the lean going to cause uneven wear on the tires? The axle and tires are still sitting flat on the ground, it's the part of the truck above the suspension that's leaning.....

 

Every time I see those massive block lifts like that all I picture is trying to complete a foot race wearing 6" platform shoes.

 

Don’t go off-roading with a 8” lift block people lol

 

Lesson learned here. Let us know when you get the new leafs installed and good luck! Out of curiosity, what are you running in the front?

 

My guess is big ass coffee can spacers on top of the stock coilovers

 

Did you jump the truck?

 

Looks like the wheel is skewed out at the bottom and twisted. Like a bent axle shaft. Compared to the other side it looks off....to me at least.

 

That leaf pack 'bout to make a U turn. That's pretty straight by the looks of it.

 

GSRON

thats what keeps your truck in line. Weak or broken leaf packs will let your axle role and shift forward and backwards. Causing the tires to wear uneven.

 

Possibly both then? Lift that rear end and give her a wiggle.

 

I think its just an illusion from the truck bed dipping down so much. If you take a piece of paper or something and cover up everything above the tires it looks the same as the passenger side. I Could be wrong tho

 

Actually the skew looks more pronounced. That seems like it was caused by a heavy downward impact like a jump or hitting a hole real hard.
