leveling kit

[3brorce]

I have a mini spring pack in and the track bar bolt was a pain. It was about a hole off. Now that I am all done My left side is an inch lower than the right. My right side is 41 1/2 inches and the left side measures 40 1/2 inches high from bottom of tire to bottom of fender well. You can notice it from looking that it is leaning to the left. Wonder if it can be from the track bar? Should I cut and sleeve it to see if will then straghten out? Take the bolt out again and see if that does it?

took the track bar bolt back out and it is still leaning to the left about 3/4 inch. Dont know what else could be the problem?

Bounce it around a bunch to see if it settles in and levels out. How much fuel is in the tank? how old are the springs?

I'm not a fan of cutting and sleeving. There are huge forces acting on the front end and I'd not want to make compromises there again, or advise anyone to do it. When I added some leafs to my stock pack, I cut and sleeved the tracbar. When I went to more lift later, I replaced with an adjustable bar and the modified I replaced had a slight but still noticable curve. Just my 2 cents.

thanks. yea I think it could be the fuel in the tank. Not sure yet though. It seems to be going up little by little the more fuel I run out of her. I did have my track bar cut and sleeved and it looks like it is supposed to. added maybe an inch to it and welded the sleeve with weld and plug welds. turned out pretty darn good. My dad has semis that lean one way with full fuel tanks but I didnt think pick ups could be like that but it may just be. Or my left side leafs or just fatigues that much more from driver weight and fuel being on that side.

I'm pretty sure that its a superduty thing. My truck leans towards the drivers side probably an inch maybe 1.5". There was a thread awhile back asking a similar question and most people that replies said they're truck had the lean to it to.

Well that is good to know. I do not want my truck higher on the left so I do not think i am going to shim it anymore than it is now. Wish it didnt lean but what are you going to do. If someone notices Ill just tell them its built for the crown of the road.
