Default Lean

I have noticed that my truck has a lean, driver side is lower then passanger side. I was told that it could be a leaf spring, but I was wondering if anyone else had thier truck lean more on one side then the other, any feedback would be very helpfull!

Default RE: Lean

The torsion bars can be adjusted to correct for this, but you have to determine if it is a front corner causing the lean or a back corner. Measure the wheelwells side to side on the front and back. I'll see if I can't dig up some info on the proper ride height for you to compare to.

I'm betting that a simple torsion bar adjustment is necessary. Only problem you may run into is that the adjustment bolt/nut on the cam will be froze up, but a few days of lubrication with penetrating oil before the adjustment is attempted should help greatly.
