Owner prior to the previous owner put about a 6" lift on this truck. I think the leaf springs are aftermarket. Either way, they are flipped up with the arc of the leaf spring sitting below the bushings. The back sits noticeably higher than the front...which I assume is due to a cheap aftermarket leaf spring sagging under the heavier weight at the front of an M1008. I think I remember reading elsewhere that this is a problem with cheaper lift kits on these heavy trucks.
Also, by the way....... just picked my truck up from getting front end aligned......
leftward braking is back!!! Not as bad as before, but it's back....
