fxstsmith Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I installed the 2" belltech lowering shackles last night and the driver side sits 1" lower then the passenger side. Both shackles were installed using the upper most hole. Truck sat at the same height before install...don't know what I did wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerrider Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 what about the fuel in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxstsmith Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 what about the fuel in the tank? Its full! Just went and drove it around town. Now its a lot better about 1/2" difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 hmmmm. I have the same shackles on my truck, part #6400. my ride height in the rear was the same on both side's and the fuel tank does not really have an effect on my ride height. Maybe measure the shackle's to be sure, check that they are laying @ same angle? Hopefully your into Big Girl's so that way when your rolling your ride will sit level! Intsall 250+ Chick Right front. lol ~Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardog Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Sometimes when installing shackles the bolts will get over tightened while the suspension is hanging. When the truck is sat back down on the ground the shackles are in a bind because the bolts are too tight and the shackles can't rotate to their normal working position. Loosen the bolts with the vehicle sitting on the ground and bounce on the rear bumper a couple of times. Then tighten the bolts to spec with the truck sitting on the ground.

I lossend up the bolts a tad and lowered off the jacks and retightened the bolts now its sitting good so sorry no fat girl needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
