Sagging in the front

[hi pinion]

It seems after time my truck has the "raked" look.......whats up with that? It sags in the front... is this a big deal to fix? Is there an easy way? Add a leaf mabey? And as far as the ride goes, how is it? As you can clearly see here, the driveway is on a slant, yet the truck is level /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif http://coloradok5.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1222628&page=3&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1

Hopefully the diet and workout will alleviate some of that /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif

I aint saggin in the front!!! /forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif I knew you would chime in on that though. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif I will be sagging in the front within the next year or so, that why im hitting the weghts again /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif Things tend to happen to your body when you get older /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

 

[hi pinion]

Well come on!!!! This is ck5 isnt it? Dosent ANYONE know?? /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

Well it should sag, it's a truck. /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif If it wasn't slightly higher in the back it would sag terribly when you put weight in the back or hooked on a trailer. My Dodge cummins is a lot taller in the back, and levels out with a heavy trailer. I like the look because that way it doesn't look stupid hooked to a trailer.

 

[hi pinion]

Nope,it wasnt sagging before /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

It doesnt look saggy in the pic. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

 

[hi pinion]

It did it after time /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif mabey the shocks? /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif there old /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

 

[sickquad]

Definitely not the shocks. In my experience most chevys from our vintage sag in the rear not in the front. How are your leaf spring bushings up front? Are they old rubber junkers?

Do you have a super heavy bumper that is wearing down your front suspension.

I wouldn't use an add a leaf, they suck.

[hi pinion]

its totally stock, everything.Nothing has been chenged since 1985 in the front. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif I was thinking in total its down 1 inch or so. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif BTW its really rough too, /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif when i hit a bump it goes BANG BANG !!! Kind of jarring /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

The rough ride and bang bang will go right away when you replace the springs and bushings in one shot . Mine did not sag , but made the noises you describe . And on fire roads it sucked bad . I am assuming you have the flat 2 leaf pack up front . You can replace them with a lift or buy a new 3 leaf pack from JC Whitney or something /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

[/ QUOTE ]I had your truck at my house for 3 days, It looked like any other blazer too me. It's fine! Just pull a trailer around all the time so it levels it out if it bothers you so much. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif
