884runningless

ok so i just put my motor back in, had the infamous timing cover ordeal, and i take the truck offroad in some gravel and mild terrain. I was messing around with it out there for just about an hour or so, and now today i come out to the runner and its leaning bout' two or so inches down on the driver side. It looks like its comeing from the rear of the truck. I was wondering if yall have run into anything like this before and could tell me what you did for the remedy. It really bothers me cause it was the first real time i even drove the sucker. i bought it with the messed up engine so i was really wanting to get out there and have just a little bit of fun with it. and i didnt drive it hard at all...

First thing, check the bushings. Make sure one didn't loose its rubber.

The other possibility (assuming it is the rear) is that you may have broken or bent a leaf spring. You can jack the rear of the vehicle and support the frame on some jack stands so that the frame is more or less level and the wheels are in the air. Support the differential with a jack. Lower the differential with the jack to relieve the tension on the springs. (You may also need to unbolt the shocks to get the springs to fully relax.) Check to see if they have an equal arch to them. (This test is not %100 accurate. But it will at least reveal a grossly bent spring. With the wheels off, you can look for signs that a leaf has broken as well.)

One other possibility (though kinda remote) is that a shock is hanging up the suspension.
