suspension

I don't know wtf is up but hitting bumps in the road you shouldn't even notice feels like a head on collision in my pickup... Any little imperfection in the road jolts the whole truck and rattles the whole dash.. Really isn't comfortable at all,,, Its like the wheels are bolted straight to the frame.

Is my suspension dead (what can you really do with leaf springs?) or is this normal?

is it in front and rear? I'd check your torsion bars up front to see if the bumpstops are against the a-arms. Maybe it's time for new shocks?

Im willing to second this

drove for about 6 months with maxed out t-bars, and that's pretty much how mine rode, lol


how do your lower control arms look on level ground?

are they flat - - or are they angled down towards the outsides / \ <-- obviously an exageration
