Hey all, 02 tahoe 4wd..on flat gatage floor the drivers side front end is noticably lower than the pass. Side, is this an adjustment issue, or should I be looking elsewhere? Going to be replacing shocks soon, but I assume a blown out shock shouldnt let the one side drop. That bieng said, the truck rides ok, but pretty sure they are factory shocks, with 134k on the odo, its time to change em out...

It's called the "Chevy Lean". your gas tank is on the drivers side.

You can easily adjust your torsion bars to get the front to sit level. Takes 2-3 minutes at the most.

As for the rear, there's not too much you can do to level it out (if it's not) other than pull the rubber spring pads

Ok, good deal, the rear seems fine. Is this common for the front? Had the bars on my old pickup adjusted by someone else, how do I do it on the tahoe?

I had a similar issue w/ mine and when I looked underneath I noticed that one of my torsion bar keys was tightened down more then the other. Just tightened the one down and got the alignment checked. Now its good to go.
