Why is my car real low in the rear when it sits?

[Mebot]

Maybe within the past couple of days, I've noticed that my Marauder sits real low in the rear when it's parked for a couple hours or overnight. Like I'm talking about the wheel wells comes right over my rear tires. I've never noticed it that low before. It always had one or two inches of clearances.

It's parked on a level surface and my parking brake isn't applied. Haven't noticed any leaks or funny noises. But when I start it up, the rear rises up. Haven't noticed any difference in driving. It doesn't sway back and forth or any other kind of "funny" feeling.

I have a 2003. No traction control, but I checked my drivers manual and there's an air ride compressor? Never really knew the Marauder had one. Anyways, apologies if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything through the search.

I'll try and get before and after pictures posted to give you guys an idea of the difference in height i'm talking about.

sounds like a leak in the bags or a line to the compressor.

Mine has been doing that now for more than 7 years. If it sits overnight (especially with temperature changes) or for an entire weekend, it will usually drop down where the fender opening is about 1 inch below the top of the tire. As soon as I start it up ... it will raise back to normal height with the standard rake.

Generally this is not a problem when it just sits a couple hours or so. The rear end stays lifted and I don't notice the compressor as much.

I do have a "small load" in the trunk with car show supplies, a couple folding chairs, garden hose, cleaning stuff and a bunch of stuff in the organizer ... but not really heavy .... maybe 50-75 pounds max.

same thing with mine. I come out to it and its down even with the rear wheel. Slow leak somwhere.

That's why i went to police interceptor coil springs. The car handles & rides great.

Hmmm no air compressor means open source for a Real custom cold air intake.

Mine doesn't sit too low even after a few days but the other week ago when I was at the track and had one side jacked up I could see small tears on the bag. There has to be a real slow leak somewhere.

Mine takes about a week to leak down. I started the car yesterday and it leveled right out.

That's exactly what happens to mine. I mean i did put in some bags of gravel during the winter season to provide extra traction, but I removed those bags about 2 months ago and never noticed this dip before.

It doesn't seem that I should be too worried, but I appreciate everyone's input.
