08 Stance

I just have one big problem left on this rebuilt truck. Little overview is this truck was rolled over. The problem I have is the rh side sits 1 inch higher than the LH. I have already had the framed trammed out fine. Also have replace the rear leaf spring. Next I was going to switch the two leafs around. Just looking for some Ideas. Could be in front suspension which seem to measure out fine. Something else bent? Have some older pics in gallery. Just throw some ideas at me. Right know anything might help. Thanks.

Well after today I was going to ask if anyone knows when there truck is picked by the frame does they front suspension sag the same on the front. Mine the right tire sags about two inches lower than the left. I would guess that it should be the same so each side has equal pressure. After levling the frame today it still shows the 3/4" difference at the rear of the box. The truck is going back to the frame shop. I still believe there is a light twist in the frame. I still think that there is something not letting the front left to sag equal to the right.

I wouldn't want to mess with a truck that had the frame twisted. Doubt you will ever get it back straight without just getting a new frame and swapping everything onto it.

I'd swap the front strut assembly between sides to rule out a fatigued coil spring.
