2000 silverado 1500 sagging on one side??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck is 3/4'' lower on one side to the other??? Last week it was level, but I jacked it up on the high side for maintance and after, it has been high ever since?? I looked to see if there is anything binding and everthing looks okay. Could it be a bad shock that is keeping the truck higher?? My truck is lowered 5/7 with control arms and flip kit that was done years ago.

Are you positive it wasnt that way before? Not doubting you but ALOT of chevy truck lean to the drivers side around 1".
Is that the way it is leaning?
Infact BellTech even sells a coil spacer to correct this.

my 4/6 DJM on my 05 sags a bit on the drivers side especially with a full tank of gas...barely enough for me to notice though....doesn't bother me a bit.

Put a little air in the tires on the low side, and let a little out of the high side.

Thanks guys, I think I figured the problem out. My air bag overloads were over extended and needed to sit back over the sleeve, that gave me a 1/2, but still 1/4 off, proabaly because of the tank being full???
