Gas tank empty?
Spare still attached?
Blew out the shocks?


Sounds strange to me...

The gas tank is empty but i have run it this empty before and it has not looked like this. The spare i strapped in the back of the passenger compartment in basically the same spot that it would be normally be except in the inside. I don't know about the shocks. If the shocks blew out why would the back go up? I wondering if cycling the suspension and extreme droop and compression stretched the springs out a little bit and made it ride higher? i don't know hahah just curious what you guys though

That could be it. Also, if you had people/gear in the back, that could make it look lower, and then when you take it out, it'll go back up again. When I like to pretend that I have a lift, I get a floor jack(or two) and jack up the body a little bit.....

Okay, okay......while I've never actually jacked up my runner to visualize a lift, I have pined while I've had it up doing a repair or two. It's pathetic, but so what. Atleast I've eventually quelched that thirst, though. <<<ZUK MOD!!!!!>>> No more saggin' ass for me!
