    My rear suspension is about two inches low on the driver side. My driver side shock has less than 3 inches before bottomig out. What could cause this? I installed the all pro expedition leaf pack and fox performance series shocks and everything seemed fine. But the driver side leaf now arches upward slightly and the passenger is nearly straight.
    There is less than 2000 miles on these new components.

    I have a pelfreybilt rear HC bumper with tire carrier, single jerry can, hi-lift- and 33" spare tire. I also have the ARE overland bed cap. Reguardless i thought leafs were supposed to arch downward.

    What could cause the lean? How can i fix it? And how can i make the leafs stronger since they are brand new and arent holding the weight very well?

    Gotcha.

    I think @Mademan925 is using the same pack and probably has more weight out back.

    Yea ive seen a lot of guys with hc bumpers, caps, roof top tents, truck vaults and all kinds of stuff in the bed using the all pro expo's. I went with the cheap shocks for now but the shocks dont hold weight so i dont think it could be the shocks.

    My bed is empty, the cab is empty and the gas tank is 1/4 when i took the pictures.

    Is the truck loaded with gear besides the list already? Like 400-600 lbs water camping stuff loaded in the bed?

    Nope the bed and cab are empty, the gas tank is only 1/4 when the pictures were taken. The weight is evenly distributed left to right, albeit the spare tire rides on the passenger side.

    I've read many people on TW who have had their AP springs flatten out early in their life. One of the reasons I went OME. It's a real bummer you are having to deal with this.

    Not an easy experiment but try switching components left to right and right to left. It will tell you if it is the spring(s) or not.

    What's happening up front? Any recent changes there? If you have a decently stable floor jack, lift the rear axle under the diff on flat concrete, and see how level the truck sits vs. how level the rear axle sits. Let us know the results.
