Okay, I got the Bilsteins on and they do really make a difference in the ride and handling. At first I thought that it was going to fix my tilt problem but now I notice that it didn't.
Help me out here, but I know that we talked about or at least some of you guys talked about the measuring point from the fender opening to the ground or was it the top of the rim. Anyways, My truck is setting about three quarters of an inch lower on the right side than the left.
Would I do better to crank just the right TB up about that much and see if that helps or what? I know that wouldn't help the rear but I need some help here from the experts....
Any suggestions??
Having just played with my t-bars, I found a couple of truths.....
1) My Blazer was really sensitive to the ground it was parked on -- sligt differences in the flatness of the ground could creat measurement variations of up to 1/2 inch. This also included if the rear end was parked uneven, but the front end was on flat, I still saw a decent change ont he front end height
2) Even if ground looks flat, it isnt always. The easiest thing I did was carry a tape measure with me this past week, and measure the height at different parking lots and stuff. I found that most of the time I would get very similar measurements, and other places it would be way off. I just averaged all of my experiences and found that I had the truck sitting how I wanted it to sit.
3) if you have a torsion bar cranked too tight on one corner, I could see how it could affect the other side of the vehicle -- the rear springs are pretty soft and are affected very easily by loading up on them.

All trucks do that, mine is sitting a little lower on the pass side too. It's caused by the torque the motor puts out. So when you hit the gas the driver side kinda lifts up and the pass side get pushed down. Its shows up faster when you like to hammer down

Spring crushing engine torque Are you sure you have the same V-6 the rest of us got?

Hey now!!! I can get my front to move, too. I mean, I'm not going to be buying wheelie bars anytime soon..... but it still moves....
Okay Men...went to the shop today, and told my mechanic what I had and what I wanted. So he cranked up the TB, and aligned the frontend, and bingo...looks a hundred per better now...
Well...till I can afford the something bigger and better...hahaha..
I'll try and get some shots of her so you can see...
On second thought...maybe not...I might draw to many opinions like they had on that other web site...hahahahah
Keep on trucking...
