Ok I searched the archives, but try a search for springs and you get 1500+ results...Here is what I am seeing, after turning off the truck(after some time), the rear drivers side seems to drop quite a few inches. The tires almost touch the wheel well. After I start it up and back out of the garage it is fine. It doesn't do it every time, but I have noticed it a few times recently. As far as I know, everything is stock. Any ideas? I apologize if this is a standard question, but I don't really know the correct terms to do a more specific archive search.

Sounds like you have the rear SLS airbag system. You probably have a leaky airbag. Very common issue with SLS. If you don't have SLS I couldn't imagine that the truck wouldn't always be listing.

Cool, I did a archive search for SLS leak and that looks like what I am seeing. Thanks. I will put some soapy water on the lines and see if I can find a leak.

Mine doing it too...I think it's the solenoid under the left side of the truck...the airbags themselves are fine.

check the o-rings inthe valve and where the lines connect to the bag. I had a leak there. replaced the o-ring and no more lowrider inthe garage.

I seem to have the same problem i just went out side and it was sagged all of the way down. But it is on the right side that starts to leak first.
