    I have just recently got work done on my suspension. I had Bilstein put in the front and Bilstein put in the rear. Icon one and a half inch add-a- leafs put in the rear and 2 in blocks put in the rear. The truck has been lifted but the problem is the driver side rear is an inch lower than the passenger side rear. Could anyone give me some advice as to why this might be happening? Thank you.

    From what I have experienced - when adding new shocks set at same height the truck will lean towards drivers side. I assume and have had knowledge transferred related to how geometry factors in between the front and rear (springs). Did you add a spacer/ shim to drivers side? Is the truck level in the front? This is a 3rd gen spot to ref.

    Did you double check that they put everything in? Both sides have the same number of leafs?

    First, measure the center of the hub to the bottom off wheel well/fender flare. That will give you an exact measurement of how much lean there is.

    9/10, it’s usually the drivers front that has lean. Curious to why you went with add a leaf and a block?
