Clean Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I have 2" shackles on the rear to level my truck out. The truck sits about 3/4" lower on my drivers side than the passenger side. How to resolve this problem? Both shackles are in the same on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bowtie Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Is ur fuel tank comp. full? GM says 1/2" or LESS diff. is normal. Maybe u need to drive truck so it can all "settle" in? Edited November 13, 2007 by Bad Bowtie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast4popper Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 mine is the same way. sometimes it pisses me off, sometimes i dont worry bout it. i dunno if there is anything that can be done about it. sooner or later you will learn to ignore it, but yes, it sucks.

Clean Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 It doesnt need to settle anymore. I have been having it like this for 1 1/2 years. I just have never asked on a forum before what other people have done. I have heard before to try putting a spring clamp on just that one side.

emperor72 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 The problem is actually coming from the front. GMT 800 trucks were designed to have a second battery just over the right from wheel. Since very few people actually ordered this option, it appears as if our trucks "lean" to the drivers side. With a coil front suspension you can trim a 1/2 coil. Im not sure what to do with a torsion front end. I have seen people use different holes on a lowering shackle, but again, the problem is happening in the front, so I would try fixing it in the front.

riddle Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 My truck sit's levels with lowering shackles., Do both the shackle's look to be laying at the same angle? Did you leave the shackles a little loose, when the truck was on the stands, set the truck down and bounce the rear bumper to settle it, then tourque to spec? May help. theres alot of people with shackles and rear end sitting level. ~Danny BTW, there was a post a couple weeks back on this. Check it out. http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr82sxs Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 just a thought and i'm sure you have looked already, but are the shackle bolts in the same holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
