Mine looks like that too. As Vstech said, they are made that way.


Rear springs are probably worn out a bit, just like in mine. I found I could adjust the SLS valve in the rear and the hydraulic "shocks" can lift the rear higher (really high).



However,

I specifically adjusted mine a little lower as to put more weight on the springs and less stress on the hydraulics. I replaced my P.O. abused rams with used ones so I'm pretty careful with them. New spheres help a lot too as those are the cushions in the pressured system (I probably need those)

New springs (and spheres) cost A LOT less than even one of those hydraulic rams. Having good springs, spheres, and clean SLS fluid is the best thing you can do for that rear suspension. If you want it to sit higher, make sure the system is healthy first.
