Rectify Uneven Crossmember Fabrication? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

epon · 11-08-2013, 03:45 PM

Noticed the truck sits uneven side to side, when all the way aired up I'm 3/8" to 1/2" higher on the passenger side. The cause appears to be the crossmember upper bag plate was fabbed in ~3/8" of an inch higher on the driver's side by PO causing it to sit lower on that side.

There's no room on the lower bag bolt threads after the nut is on to put washers between the bag and the LCA.

Would an air management system with ride height sensors fix it with no issues?

Otherwise, I'll just need to pull the crossmember to have the bag perch plates evened up?

TIA!
