truck raises when you let off brake. .

sitting in my truck after work last night I had to turn the truck around on a tight road. So I pressed on the break turned the wheel all the way them let off the break and the front end rose. ALOT. 2 inches might be stretching it but it was very noticeable.

Went home and did it again. No noise or anything. I don't remember any of my old ttb doing this.

Might be that you are letting the air out of the springs when the brake booster gets activated. Pull the booster hose and see if the nose dips.


Seriously though, if you have an auto and it is in good shape the effect of the truck trying to move on it's own while being held in place by the brakes can make the nose dip or pick up noticeably. The effect can really be seen if you take a FWD car and set the parking brake and lay on the gas while it's in gear.

Yeah I've done that with autos. But mines a 5 speed.

Related brake question. When I brake and am going over bumps there is a knock. I can feel it too. Mybuddies f350 also does this

mine does the same thing always has since i got it. all your are doing is putting pressure on the suspension. when you turn and moving the tires are rolling but at a stand still with the tires not moving its transfers to the suspension so to speak.

just check all your bushings and radius arm mounts that the holes arent getting messed up and everything is tight.

mine is worst than when i got it due to some worn out bushing and things in the front end at are going to get replaced but even with all new stuff it will still do it

I have a feeling my radius arm is loose only part of the front suspension I haven't unbolted
