I'll take some more pics tonight after I get home as I don't have the truck today, took the motorcycle to work.

But you really think it's alignment? How is it the alignment has gone out so quickly, I just had it done about 6 months ago.

 

Depending on where you live, road conditions you drive on ect. Where im at its either highway, few city streets, the dirt drivways and pastures for mine. If it gets road hard it can knock the alignment out. Luckly where im at theres a shop that does free alignment checks.

 

Here's some more pics:

This is how the truck sits, seems higher in the rear than the front.

Someone with more experience may chime in here. I know nothing about the x code springs, just saw a picture on here once, but the ends of your leafs look like they are curled up like those. The x code leafs give you some lift in the front due to a heavier weight rating for the snow plow package or something. I cant tell you for sure, but hopefully someone will see it and tell you for sure.

As for the hangers in the front, they look stock to.

 

Yea, I know nothing about the x leafs either but I am leaning in the direction that these are stock and no leveling kit was installed. No way, the dealer lied to me, that would never happen... Right!

 

Ok, so based on everything I learned from the advice here, I ordered my shocks. I went with ProComp ES9000 series. I ordered the shocks for the front based on it being stock height and the rear being lifted 4 in. So, I installed the rear first and they went on with no issues. I pulled the old ones off and put them side by side with the new ones andthey match up almost perfect, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch difference, new ones being slighly longer. Now to the front... not so good. The new ones are about an inch shorter than the old ones. I put them side by side and the old ones are 23 in extended, 14 1/4 in collapsed. The new ones are 22 in ext and 13 1/4 collapsed. I was leary about putting the new ones on because they are shorter. If anything, would it be better to have an inch or so longer both ext and collapsed rather than to be too short and not have enough travel if needed? I looked at the shocks for the 2.5in leveling kit and they are 24.8 ext and 14.58 collapsed. I think I need those, yeah? Anyhow, if anyone has any advice on this I would really appreciate it so I can finish my shock installation. Thanks!

 

measure bolt centers of truck,and see if that measurement is in the middle of the stroke of the shock.I wouldnt bolt it on until consulting with the company.

 

Measure while on flat ground, I assume? Measure with the shock on or off?

 

Just remember that there are no guarantees the last person to put shocks on your truck used the correct size. I would go with the manufacturer's recommendation for your truck.

 

Yep, this is a true statement. I just got off the phone with ProComp and they told me I got the wrong shocks for the front end. Not sure if the old shocks were the right ones that should have been on or not but now I will have the correct shocks for the truck. Who would've thought putting shocks on would be this difficult...

 

Glad you got it sorted out. Hopefully that means the install will go smoothly, you got the hickup out of the way already.
