Did you have any lean before?

Do you get any roll from them being tied together?

How much higher did you go with the back end?

Don't take this the wrong way, but the truck is sitting on flat level ground, correct??

not takin wrong at all ya it was on level ground i even got a level to check the ground and it never leaned before what else is there that would cause that and the back is 1 inch higher than before on both sides in the rear and would it be better to run one line to each so there not tied together?



and another thing any idea where i can get the slide on nuts for the rear shocks mounts there cheap pos's and mine rusted out there for the top mount

It would eliminate the air from going from one to the other under compression.

Use 1 air valve and run sep hoses to each shock.. make sure the hoses are not located near the exhaust or sharp metal..if you push down on your front fenders how much does the truck bounce when ya stop pushing on it? You could have a bad shock or even a broken spring..

Yeah you could and yes it would need to be realigned afterwards.
