My 59 sits a lot lower in the front than the rear . Is this normal ? Possibly to accommodate a heavy load? Appears someone at some point has welded some coil springs on top of the axle , I don't think they were stock but I could be wrong. Should the truck sit level or should it be higher in the rear?
Thanks

i assume we are talking about a half-ton? I can tell you that there aren't supposed to be any coil springs on the truck. my 56 might have a slight rake to it with the rear a little higher - but its not much.
