lol, I guess those pics are useless.

I'll try to squeeze under the car in the morning and take better ones if need be.

Yup, it's next to impossible to get under there, especially cause hybrids have their running boards even lower than non-hybrids. I will however try to squeeze under the resonator to try to get better pics a little later.

I just hope everything stays still back there cause it's gonna be one weird obituary if the rear end craps out. :D

that bumpstop looks like its under pressure... Serge, is there ANY play in the rear suspension? I mean, can you stand on the running board towards the back of the truck and move up and down on it and see if there is any travel? If there isn't, or its still bouncy, your problem is easy. Cut the bumpstops.

lol, you guys are making me do all these things to wind me up and look like a ******* to my neighbors.

I stood on the rear bumper and bounced up and down and the max I can get it to go down is an inch or two.

Btw, are those coils supposed to be squashed like that?

 

[sumo]

yea mine looks like that too.

man i wish you l lived closer i can cut those rear brakets off in 5 minutes so easy.

how many inches do you have from the bottom of the bumpstop until it hits the bumpstop pad?

I don't want to see what someones frame looks like after you cut the entire bump stop bracket off in 5 minutes!!! I spent a FULL day when I removed them on my Tahoe.
