i cranked my torsion bars today and i have a quick question. pre crank measurement showed the drivers side a half inch lower than the passenger side. i did 5 turns on the drivers side and 4 turns on the passenger sid and now both sides are even at 38 7/8". does a one turn difference between the two sides sound like it's too much? i thought they would be closer to eachother than that. maybe within a 1/4-1/2 turn?

 

Just turn em until the truck is even. Mine was off around a quarter inch from the factory.

 

i took the truck to a few different empty lots and checked the measurements and it was still sitting high on the passenger side even though the driver side was turned up one full turn more, so i backed off on the passenger side 1/4 turn and that seemed to put it level. but now there is an even bigger difference between the two sides. driver/5 turns, passenger/3 3/4 turns. that just seems wrong to me but we'll see what happens.

 

I had to back my passenger side off a quarter turn to get them level. The height was even when I started and 5 turns on each had me 1/4 higher on the passenger side.

 

As long as the measurements are correct, don't worry about the # of turns, there are many variables other than the # of turns.

 

I want to bump this thread up because i noticed that my 03 ram is also 1/2 inch lower on the driver side. Now isit just me or does this sound like a common problem? Or could there be a reason for this. Should a guy level it or leave the1/2 inch difference.

 

before i did this to level my truck, the driver side was a little lower too.

 

its in case you pick up a fat chick , then it will level out.

 

The driver's side will be lower because there is always someone riding on that side. That side will sag quicker than the passenger.

 

I wonder if they have the driver side lower from factorybecause the crown of any road is higher than the outside, which inturn would make your truck ride uneven if the driver side wasn't lower. Just a theory!!
