Hey guys, I need some Tech advice. I did a 1.5 torsion twist on my truck. I got the Frame on both sides exactly the same. when I got done I noticed that the truck leans down on the left side. The frame is still exactly the same but from the top of the tire to the fender is about 1 inch lower the the right side. Any thoughts on why? can it be the shock on the left side is weaker then the left? I cant think its the Torsion bar. I could jack the torsion bar on that side for days but that will lift the frame not the body. so if anybody has any ideas that would be great.

It's normal for our RBV's. Most of the weight is on the drivers side such as the...

Driver.. always atleast the driver in the vehicle when driven

Gas tank.. weight from gas

Battery.. nuff said

Interior.. More weight on driver side.. steering column, dash gauges, etc...

You can even it out by cranking up the driver side torsion bar bolt. if it's topped out you can get a pair of longer bolts from Zabteck Technology.
 






There is even a term for it. The "Ranger Lean".
 






A RBV that's perfectly level would be considered rare.
One that leans to the right would be considered a "freak".
The driver, fuel tank, and battery all contribute to the the lean.
