air pressure difference?

So I am wondering something. On my silverado, for ride height and to be level i need like 80 psi in the front drivers side bag and like 105 in the passenger front bag? The gas tank is on the drivers side so if anything it should need more psi... I checked the cups and they are the same.... What gives???? Oh and I have a two link so its not the rear,,,,

:st:

Even though the cups are the same there could be differences in the spring pocket and control arms. I would be sure both bags are completely colapsed when its laid out. Also even though you are running a 2-link if the bags are mounted much differentl

i would check the placement of the front bags between pivot and spindle. more leverage on one side would need less pressure. 25 lbs is a bit. what about the engine being centered? i know some stuff is a bit to one side or the other. how much airline is attached to each side from the valves? also, like chris said...check the rear setup for accuracy. i would say, just make sure suspension items are same left to right. are the bags the same age and type?

I've just recently run into a vehicle that the drivers side acts considerably heavier to lift and I can't seem to find a cause of any sort. I am completely dumbfounded!

did you check the pressure without the fat chick riding shotgun? it could be that.

some air gauges don't read the same either , they are just there for a referance.

Ha ha... she's just big boned......

99-up chevys are really bad for that........if you measure a stock silverado from the center of the spindle to the bottom of the fender you will notice that its 1/4 to 3/4" lower on the passenger side...its all in the spring pocket from factory.....if you do bag plate up front and set them up the same your problem is eliminated........we just make the cup from 1/2 to 1" different from each other so the truck is level and the psi is the same

see thats a helpful bit of info. i will remember that if i ever have one. i think his problem is solved.
