New Member - First Post & Question

Hello, All! New to the board and first time poster...

Own a 72 Cheyenne C10 LWB. Doing a frame off stock restoration.

Just rebuilt the entire chassis/suspension. Now that it is just a rolling chassis, the tail end of the right frame rail is 1/2" higher than the left side. I installed new Moog coil springs, but used the stock track bar with new bushings. Any suggestions on why the right side is sitting higher? Or is this normal without any weight on it?

Thanks in advance for comments!

I'd say it's normal until you get some weight put on it.

Welcome to the board, and just so you know...

Welcome! Just go ahead and make this site one of your "favorites" now.

I'd wait as well, until you get some weight and let the spring settle a bit.

Re: New Member - First Post & Question

the frames are easy to tweak w/out weight and springs can take a bit to settle.
