    Hey guys, does this look right to you? Truck is a '14 with just under 15,000 miles. Never looked really close at my springs, but are they supposed to look like this new or with this low mileage?

    I'm just trying to verify if that's how they're supposed to look. If so, I don't care if it looks weird. Thanks everyone.

    I was also digging through old threads, and this does seem to be normal like some of y'all mentioned... Any additional comments are more than welcome.

    All I've ever really had back there were a couple of dirt bikes, and I did haul a small U-Haul from CO back to LA one time.

    It's how they come from the factory. They are designed to be like that. Makes them more comfortable for our spoiled, fat lazy, American assess.

    Hey! I re...semble that remark. :D

    Thanks for your reply. I asked my brother to check out his '14 T-Force, and he said his was the same. I should've just looked at the new ones at the dealership while I was getting my 15,000 mile service last week...

    Thanks for all the replies.
