Question Leveling Front end with Snow Plow Prep Package???

My 2500LD has the Snow plow package that has the increased capacity torsion bars and arms (keys)

Front end sits kinda goofy now...the driver side is about 1.5" lower than the passenger side And the front in general is alot lower than the rear

Since I have the higher capacity springs...can they just be cranked to level without having to change the keys to the "green key"?

yes you can crank the torsion bars to level the front out.

i'd recomend bringing it in to the dealer to have it done. to do it right you need to align it also. they should do it all under warrenty. it's a fairly common thing.

I may just do it and have a local tire place do the alignment...can't go without the truck too long and don't want to get stiffed if the dealer doesn't cover the alignment or whatnot

measured it today...the front right was 1.5" higher than the front left

I cranked the left bar as far as it would go then cranked the right bar until it leveled side to side. Still sits ~1.5" higher in the rear...but it looks SO MUCH BETTER

Thanks

Off to get an alignment
