Hey Guys,
Just wondering why my Silverado sits low on the rear end? Not sure if that is the factory stance or not and I'm not sure the last time the shocks were replaced. Truck has 76k on it

The rear height looks correct for a C10, Has the front suspension been modified?

The shocks have nothing to do with ride height.
Check for broken or missing leafs.

Truck has plain old shocks on it front and rear. Leaf springs are good...…..

As stated by shiftpro, shocks have nothing to do with ride height.
Must be your springs, an easy solution would be 2” lift blocks. But the right fix would be new springs. It’s also quite possible you have the wrong springs in the front

Definitely looks lower than my 87 SWB. Rake is usually the other way; higher in back than front.

I'm sure by now someone has posted that shocks do not effect ride height. A worn out set or a new set will not change your stance. Only ones that would would be cool overs or air shocks that are over inflated.
