Default Uneven Blazer???

My 99 Blazer always kinda looked uneven so i got a measuring tape and measured from the ground up to the rear wheel well, and the left side is .75 inches higher. Is this a big issue? It seems very odd to me. Thanks

It was in my garage so the floor should be close to level, lol.

did you measure the front height from side to side also ?
your garage being out of level really shouldnt make that much of a difference in measurements unless its really out. but in any case i'd fix the garage floor first.
i hate it when sockets roll away from me ..........LOL

Definitely your torsion bar adjustments. Look to the rear of the torsion bars, you'll find a heavy bolt head that's used to adjust. The adjustment bolt rotates the torsion bar one way or the other to raise or lower the forward corner of the truck - which will affect the rearward corners as well. It's not a big deal, 3/4 of an inch. But, the truck will ride more stable if it's balanced and level.

Thanks for the replies! I read in another thread that lifting the vehicle using the torsion bars will make it ride rough. I would rather my blazer be a little lower than stock than higher. Any tips for this? I read on wikianswers something about A-B=Z. A and B are measurements from the ground to a certain part under the vehicle. Im not very inexperieced with this stuff. Sorry if im missing something. Thanks
