truck unlevel..
last week or so I got my truck down on all fours, but the rear seems to be tiled to one side...
there's no shocks in the truck..the front end is resting on 4x4 bump stops(but it's level) and the back is just has a flip.. is there anything that would be causing this.. i can't seem to find anything.. it's about an inch to an 1.5" higher on the driver side.. i can step on the bumper and it'll come down to prettyy much where it needs to be.. ideas?

Re: truck unlevel..
measure the axle to the frame both sides..
bet one side has a longer measurement.. if nothing there, next up frame to ground,, if the axle to frame is the same but the frame to ground isn't the frame is tweaked |

Re: truck unlevel..
I agree with shane, check your body bushings and see if you have pads between the bed and the frame.
Also, make sure your springs are sitting correctly in both the front and back. I know if you dont have them right in the front, they wont sit correctly in the lower control arms. |

Re: truck unlevel..
it's actually my blazer, but both trucks have leafs..
i remeasured the front tonight along with a couple other things and it seems the pass side fender is 1/2" lower than the driver.. that is prob effecting it a bit.. also noted the front mounting point for the rear leaf driver side is 1/2 higher than the pass. side, i think that's cuz my front end has no springs just 4x4's.. wasn't able to check the body mounts.. i'll have to do that tomorrow.
