Looking at the pictures...they don't show any missing pieces or chuncks So where did those chucks come from? Betcha production scraps...not a good sign of ridiculousness on their production process(s) Ben it looks like you conclude that the chunks came from inside and were production scraps. I never thought of that but I felt something was'nt right with the weld also. This unfortunate mishap may have uncovered something that needs to be checked out. I wish this guy all the best.

Then I really think it was a forklift with a ball on it. Hope you get figured out soon.545Views0likes0CommentsRe: Blue Ox Sway Pro Setup
I don't think the larger bars or the answer. You may want to look into a Roadmaster Active Suspension . This won't increase payload but really helps reduce rear end squat and make towing are hauling heavy loads a whole lot safer. Will lift the back of the truck some while unloaded but the truck will handle loads much better and go around curves like a car. Unbealvabe how much better a loaded or unloaded truck will handle.

Not sure, that could of been done also. Do you know how to tell if he added a spring? TecheMan483Views0likes0CommentsRe: Spring load handlers ?
As you could see there was plenty of room for me to get my I-pad in there and take pictures. The front measures 8" from the top of the tire to the fender edge. The rear measures 12.5" from the top of the tire to the fender edge. Does anyone know if this is normal for a 2012 2500HD? Thanks TecheMan484Views0likes0CommentsRe: Spring load handlers ?
I can't imagine it being a worse ride on bad freeway dividers. The rear has no give what so ever on quick drops like that. It feels like a F550 suspension would feel unloaded. I can't help but feel these are hurt the unloaded ride of this truck. I'm not a mechanic but I want to take the off is it a difficult job. Also I measured the fender walls from the tires and the back is 4.5" higher than the front is this normal. I think it's putting pressure on the front suspension and hurting the ride up front also. The guy who had the truck before me had a large fith wheel and all I have is a pop up and 20ft bass boat. Now down the road I will get a TT but nothing very large though. Thanks Techeman I really appreciate all the help from you guy. And a special thanks to you Jim for helping me post the pictures.483Views0likes0CommentsSpring load handlers ?
I just bought a 2012 2500 HD and it has some springs attached to the rear leaf springs. I put 1400 lbs in the bed and it only went down a few inches if that. I think these springs or hurting the unloaded ride by applying pressure to the leaf springs. Also rear of the truck sit up much higher than the front. Does anyone know what these springs are and how to get them off. I took pictures but I'm a dummy and don't know how to post them are maybe you can't do that here. They seam to hook on the back without bolts but are bolted in the front from under and over the leaf spring with a bracket. They have adjustable nuts on them but when loos they still seam to be held in place by torque from the leaf springs? Anyway the highway dividers in Louisiana are bad and I don't need any extra payload than this truck already has. Just trying to smooth out the ride a bit, I know it's a Truck and I bought a truck but I really think this is taking away from the ride. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
