Need some help ASAP....please

[madmann26]

So I lowered my truck, 06 Sierra ECSB with a flip kit (DJM) and 3in DJM LCA's.

The driver side of the truck is leaning more than the passenger side. It's leaning a good inch to 2in more.


I don't have any idea what to check. So pleade someone help me ASAP.

Thanks in advance

It's the front drivr AND rear driver side that is leaning more than the passenger side front/rear.

Thoughts?

check the front...itll affect the rear too.

Did u tighten the shackle bolts once the weight was on the vehicle? loosen them a lil...retighten if u didn't.

I'll do that in the morning. I did take it for a quick spin and it drove fine. I just need an alignment.

There wasn't any vibration at 55 either so I think I got the pinion angle pretty close.

I used DJM shocks..1415s in the front and 1800s in the rear.

remember GM trucks already lean to the drivers side some because of the gas tank

Mine leans like a mofo. Haven't taken measurements. I blame it on gas tank and the way things are arranged in my toolbox. It is quite aggravating though. Might be DJM thing lol.

They all lean, it's a fact of life lol

Upon a very general obversation, everything looks correct under my truck. What can I do to fix it?

I was also looking at the DJM site and they recommend a different shock for each side. I used the same. Would that make a difference?

 

[Ginger]

most people put the drivers side shackle at 1in drop and the passenger at 2in and it gets it pretty close

 

[BigBoi]

I'm not running drop shackles. So I could just get a 1" shackle for passenger side?

 

[Ginger]

you could do that.

I just bought a replacement spring, not that expensive, little over $100 I think. Dnw lopsided suspension to level truck.

So you're saying that my factory leafs are wore out and replacing the driver side would stiffen it up and raise it?

 

[Gannon]

Yep, for the most part.
