Gumby has been harrasing me for atleast a month now to measure my ride height. I did finally today and the truck was leaning evenly to the left an entire inch. I cranked the driver side up a bit and now it sits about 1/8" off of being even. Good enough for me. The Torsion bolt on the driver side is now deaper into the bracket than the passenger side.

Now the truck does drive a lil better and no longer pulls to the left but is it alright to have done this? The front sits at 33 1/8" and the rear at 32 1/2" so its even, kinda. Should I lower the front so the fenderwells are all even? Or leave it as is?

The funny thing is the vibration issue I had at 50 to 65mph is now almost non existant. I'm happy for this but I'm not too sure about the bolts being uneven when the truck is.

Also 26psi seems awefull low for tires on a truck this heavy. How many of you crank it up to 30-32psi? Seems it would help milage a bit as well.
 






As for the torsion bolts, my drivers side one is cranked in all the way, and the passenger one still has room to go. That is normal that the driver's side maxes out first. As for 26psi, I don't run that. I run mine at 35-40 PSI. I would recommend doing a chalk test though, to see what you should be running.
