Just install Bilstein 5100 PN 24-186704 on my 05 scab. I notice that the driver side is an inch higher than the right side. Does someone here have the same issue like this after installing the rear? It's a pretty straigth forward install so i'm not sure what could be wrong? I need some advise or do i get one bad shock that needs to be return? Pics below sorry if it's big.

Thanks

Right side

 

First for the basic questions, are you measuring from center of wheel or from the ground? Are you on level ground?

Did the struts come set at different heights? Were the part numbers the same for both of them?

How much is the difference in the front?

 

I measured from the ground and in different places (parking lots). I also measured from the ground up to the top of the cab and still theres an inch difference.

The boxes and part numbers on the shock itself are the same. I also measured the shocks from under the truck when installed and it looks like one is longer than the other(under pressure).

The front is the same height since i also install the front Bilstein last week.

Thanks

 

Shocks on the rear do not affect ride height.

 

The front is the same height on both sides? Or the front is the same height as the rear on each side?

 

The front is the same height on both side. Just wondering why i gain an inch in rear driver side and the right side is still the same height? I even measure from the top of the tire to the wheelwell.

 

Missing a rear leaf block on one side? assuming this is 4x4

 

IT's a 4X2 before the install they were over 37 inches.

 

Sounds more like a shock issue if there isn't any leaf spring damage. Call warranty and try to get a free replacement and if its unchanged, look into leaf springs.
