Hello all,

I rotated the truck tire yesterday, using the spare as a place holder while I swapping position of the other wheels. I sequentially lifted the 4 corners of the truck to do that.

When I was done and the truck was back on the ground, I noticed that the rear left seemed higher than normal. When I started the truck, it felt like the back dropped a good 2-3 inches.

Is that something that anyone ever experienced? I wonder if there is some kind of step or detent in the suspension component that would explain that behavior, and if this is normal or not?

Thanks for the comments!

Your parking brake was most likely on before jacking up the truck. When you went to go drive, and the parking brake released, the rear end settled down.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.
