sitting lop-sided

**l1ld3v1lrydr** · 06-22-2007, 07:30 PM

my rear set up consist of 3in belltech lowering leaves, 2in blocks, and air shocks. now im pretty sure i had this problem b4 i put the blocks and air shocks on but it just wasnt as noticable, but my pass side sits alot lower than the driver side in the rear. i have about 50 lbs of pressure in the shocks, and the drive side, i can get about 3 fingers between the top of the tire and the body, the pass side i think is sittin even with the body, if not then its like a fingers gap

im thinking its the bushings in the leaves, but theyr only 3 in a half to 4 years old, and the thing has no power, so i never step on it.

has anyone else had this problem? do ya think its the bushings?

i have the same problem but its my driver side that sits lower. same setup as well.

**l1ld3v1lrydr** · 06-22-2007, 07:38 PM

lol thats wierd... and everytime i try to show it to my dad, he just shruggs his shoulders and says eh its the ground thats making it sit that way... haha even if i show him while its on a flat road

but i really think its the front bushing or w.e where the leaf bolts fast to the frame

maybe i can find a new 3 in lowering leaf tomorrow at carlisle

Mine are brand new.

Alot of people say chevy has a lean to it. One side sits lower and its more noticable after its droped. Thats just what I read but I have read it quiet a few times.

All GM trucks have a lean.

**l1ld3v1lrydr** · 06-23-2007, 07:24 PM

yea but i believe this is pretty bad... and i always thought the lean was from the rear leaves having wear on them since its a one wheel wonder and it wears out one side more...

but like low86 said, mine arent all that old.

isnt there a way to fix it? lol

ya my 3 inch drop leaves are brand new and i put 3 different ones in and my drives side will always sit about .5-1 inch higher....kinda gay

low86blazer · 06-24-2007, 10:09 PM

i dunno maybe the shackles are fucked.

dysfunk · 06-24-2007, 11:09 PM

Shackles may be messed up.. or not exactly welded in the 'same' spot on the frame.. y'know?

**l1ld3v1lrydr** · 06-25-2007, 09:59 AM

i wonder if a rear sway bar would do anything? prolly not but id still like to get one at some point

low86blazer · 06-25-2007, 11:48 AM

the shackles arent welded to the frame they are bolted and can rotate.

nvr2lo · 06-25-2007, 01:17 PM

i have the same problem. Except i think its because one air shock is not getting the same amount of air as the other. But im not positive on that.

but mine sits higher on the driver side, does that spacer thats mentioned work for either side, and does it go on the leaf's in the rear?
