With the brake applied it drops about 1/2" when I start it. It's snowing again so I won't be driving the truck for a while, there's time to pull all of the wheels off and really look things over.


For the last 15 years I've driven modern trucks with big 4 wheel disc brakes, maybe I'm expecting too much.
