So we lowered or 15 LT with the Crown 1-2 kit. Rides great and like the look however the passenger side rear sits a 1/2" higher then the drivers. I'm curious if this is common, or is it something with the springs. Thanks in advance.

My thoughts would be that one of two thugs is happening. 1. The spring isn't seated perfectly in the spring bucket on that side (Not likely) 2. The springs could just need to settle. It usually takes a few (3-4 days) to settle to where they will stay. When did you do the install?

Installed about 3 weeks ago. I will check how it's seated in the morning. Thanks for the ideas.

Let us know what you find. I'm sure most people don't really even check the numbers after the install. Mine sits dead level after it has settled but I used the McGuaghy's level kit.

It's the "chevy lean"

You gas tank is on the drivers side going down the frame rail, so The drivers side will sit lower than the passenger side.

There are little things you can do to fix it, like adding/removing the rubber stops above/below the springs, but every GM truck & SUV has it going back to the 2000 SUV

You cut off 1/2 inch from pass side and reweld it. By shortening the endlink will suck that side down and make it sit even. I did this on my escalade and other suvs where the owners were upset on the lean no matter what.

Tony I bought the short links as you said for the 3/6 drop kit, do we still have to cut the end links and how safe is that?
