Suspension: Lift in back, none in front?
Neighbor was looking at my truck yesterday
He pointed out what he said was 3" lift in the back.
No lift in the front.
He figured the previous owner maybe was hauling pretty heavy
although there's no 5th wheel or gooseneck hook up in the bed
I haul less than 10K, and use the truck mostly for hauling.
I haven't notice problem hauling, but I didn't notice the
rear end lift, either...
Is this something I should correct?

do you have the suplimental suspension pakage? GVRW or what ever the sticker in the door is about 8600 lb for the rear or somewhere in that ball park. if so then its just the spacers. my truck has that too. its esentialy a one ton, the weight is really close to my step-dads '94 F-350, except he has a little more capacity in the front end.

No lift, my 98 is the same way the front end is just 2" lower than the rear. Every other dodge 1 ton is that way in town 2wd or 4wd unless they put a leveling kit on the front of the truck.

Well, I have the biggest tires I'm ever planning on putting on the truck so I don't need the front lifted. There looks to be lots of room under the rear to allow for a 2" drop. I just have to come up with the enthusiasm to try it.
