ok, i just noticed this the other day, and still need to get a camera to take pics of it but yea when i look at my truck from the back its sitting maybe half an inch lower on the drivers side, and i cant figure out why?
i've got 3 inch lowering blocks on the back and cranked torsions on the front so it site level, but its sitting crooked does anyone have an idea on why. and a way to fix it!
thanks in advance guys

It could be a multitude of things.

The only thing that comes to mind is that you should get an alignment, because a good place will make sure the truck sits at the right height before doing the alignment.

Other then that, it could also be because the frame is slightly tweaked. I think my frame is tweaked a bit because the left sits lower than the right cause when I jack the rear up even though I'm pretty much center, the right lifts off the ground first! LOL!

EDIT: ALSO, maybe you did'nt crank the torsions down right? As well, take a tape measure and measure each wheel and go from the bottom fender lip to the center of each wheel. You gotta make sure your on a pretty much level surface as well tire pressure is the same on all wheels within a pound I would say...

could also be worn leafs

yea im not sure, i'll have to check on that for sure! if my leafs are worn is it pricey to get new ones? and while im at it i might as well take a few more out,
k well thanks for the help i'll look into all of it.

also how low can i drop it down without bagging it. i wont have the cash for that till the end of summer, but if there's a few things i can do to get her lower i would love to know!
thanks

going by your sig pic youll need smaller tires for sure

^^^^^^ and mono leaf it with the overload leaf and crank the bars down some more and shave your bump stops down to a 1/2 inch or so

my truck has 205/40/17's, 3" straight blocks, i removed the two middle leafs, cranked tortions, bump stops shaved down front/rear, and air shocks...it has pretty damn good ride quality too...

heres how my truck sat last year. front bump stop mounts cut out for clearance (gotta cut them out eventually to bag it), flipped lower ball joints, reindexed torsions, and shocks. the rear i monoleafed with the overload on top, 3" blocks, and air shocks. front rode great, the rear bottomed out with no air in the airshocks. im sure with a half-notch it would have been better. thats my .02.
