Here's the problem I have a 65 Series IIa that has new shocks and suspension, however the rear continues to sag. Some people tell me its not the shocks or that different shocks wouldn't matter but they don't really have any better ideas. The truck has pretty standard shocks and susupension no lift and normal size tires. Any takers on what I could do to remedy this situation. It sounds so simple to fix but I'm just not sure?   Michael Noe (Noee) Senior Member Username: Noee Post Number: 714 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:53 am:    Springover? Seriously, maybe the rear susp was installed (torqued) wrongly. I guess you need to not have things really tightened up until you have run it a bit to get all the pieces/parts settled in.

You probably have a set that weren't tempered right. I would call your supplier and tell themthe problem. They should send you a new set.
