front left tilt ?
awhile ago I posted about how my truck looks to be on a left front lean from behind the right rear looks higher then left side and from the front the right front looks lower then the left side
here's what I have done so far I have replaced all cab mount bushings have replaced all front control arm bushings I swapped front springs around and rear leaf springs also I checked the frame on the front for level and it is near on perfect but I still see the same lean to the truck anyone got any ideas what to do next ? |

Re: front left tilt ?
The Chevy lean....sounds like you covered all the obvious thinks already..
Bent frame?? I think anything less then a 1/2" is probably acceptable.. I ended up shimming the body a little..no more lean. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: front left tilt ?
I did some more measureing and found that if I measure from the bottom bump stop to top spring support there is a difference of about 3/8th lower on the drivers side
doesn't sound like much but its visible when looking at the truck I wonder if new springs might help ? or can I cut a little off the other spring to even it out ? sounds crazy but I know its going to p**s me off |

Re: front left tilt ?
I should mention that it has had the six cylinder replaced with a 350 v8 will this make a difference to what springs I need?

Re: front left tilt ?
you should get load leveler springs or cargo coils

Re: front left tilt ?
Hey man I put a 5" DJM lowering kit on my truck and it leaned 1/2" on the front drivers side. I checked all kinds of stuff thinking I screwed something up. I did some research on Google and found where people put coil spring spacers under the low side. I purchased one from Summit and the problem is now fixed.
