Fix the front, the rear will also come up. Most of the weight is on the front of the truck. We do it all the time with torsion bar trucks and it works.

bringing old thread back.

all you guys complain that the driver side sits lower then the passenger. but my driver side is sitting higher then the passenger very noticeable. only thing i notice is one of my shackles is facing a different way then the other. but i dont think that matters. or does it ?

shackles should be facing the same way, or i do believe they will bind.

I was mainly talking about the front with this thread, i have since done all my suspension work and the back came up a little with the front. The way it sits now and after springs have setteled the drivers front is now the highest with the other three corners about the same on a 1/4gas, anthing over that on gas and the drivers rear is the lowest because of all the weight of gas, kind of annoying but i can live with it compared to the chevy lean of before..
