Seems like Truck Lowered??....

Alright, So We Went on a camping trip this past weekend. So I hook the trailer (Around 1000LBS) to the hitch. And Drive to our Destination. When I go to take the Trailer off and raise the trailer. It seems as though the truck didn't rise up like it usually does when I take the trailer off. It's kind of hard to explain... but long story short.

It's like the truck's rear end sits lower than it used to. Granted I usually carry little to nothing in the bed, the rear end sticks up a bit. Now it's all level....

If ANYONE has had any kind of problem, or situation like this. Please get back to me. I don't know if I'm overanalyzing it or not, but I'm a bit cynical when it comes to the truck.

Much thanks in advance....

1000# trailer means 100# tongue weight. This will sag very little the back end. You might notice the back end move as you put the hitch on the ball, but if it dropped more than a 1/2 inch I would be concerned.

I wonder if there was an un-level surface you were dealing with too that makes it seem worse.
