So As you can see my mounty is listing to starboard, as we say on the high seas. I did the TT/Shackes almost two years ago. Everything went smoothly. I did it at a garage with a very level floor and measured everything. Since I got back from sea this fall it has had this lean. Weight inside is very evenly distributed. So there is no way its cargo. I have looked at all the suspension components and they all LOOK fine(except for 1 I will get to). I measured the wheel clearance between body and top of tire today and this is what got
Front of truck
5.5" 4.5"
4.5" 3.5"
back of truck
So option 1 is crank that driver's side TT down an inch and see if that levels it out.
Option two is related to the driver's side sway bar link. Check out this picture and see if this looks bad:
There are gaps around the bottom blue rubber thing and at he middle just below the sway bar eye.
The top isnt looking so hot either with the blue rubber/plastic all crushed down.
Here is the passenger side. Looks perfect to me...
So what do you think? Could that sway bar not being connected well cause the truck to lean? Or should I do some cranking? I am hesitant to go nuts on the crank because I think she is aligned well due to no uneven tire wear. Your thoughts as always are greatly appreciated!
