finished grinding off the stock spring hanger brackets today. was much easier now that the gas tank was dropped. 2 of the rivets are still stuck in on the driver side on the bottom of the frame but ill figure something out to get them out. and i changed the master cylinder. almost registration time!!!

Changed rear shocks from Delphi to Monroe Sensatrac - no difference in ride noticed, but then increased tire pressure to 36 from 32 so that may be it.

Found broke sway link on front, led to finding TBar misadjust.
Equalized tbars, installed new sway links, Conclude from the process that frame is not torqued.

I keep telling you guys to disconnect sway link when you crank tbars and this shows you WHY!

My Blazer is the same way as your Bravada. Drive side sits lower than the passenger even tho both tbars are cranked up. It was like that when I got it. I did notice that my sway bar has new bushings and the connecting bolts were loose so I tightened them up. I even replaced the shocks because I thought they were bad and that was why it was leaning. One of the PO must have messed up. Ugh, another screw-up that I must fix. Thanks for posting this!!
