Leveling out the rear

Will

So I did a 3 inch drop with blocks, and I'm looking at it, the drivers side rear is higher than the passenger side rear, really noticeable, the passenger side looks great, but the drivers side is higher for sure. I leveled out the front by loosening the torsion bars, now I'm trying to figure out why the drivers side rear is so much higher than the passenger side. Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

Well so long as your blocks are mounted correctly, the next thing to consider is a dam near 40yr old truck that looks like its been well Loved happens to have the gas tank on the side that is lower.
Your rear leafs may be wearing, I would also check to make sure your leafs do not have any damage, ie cracks, etc ..
Also just an observation, the accident your truck suffered is on the same side you are complaining about. Perhaps the rear shackle is damaged / bent?

OGMB2K yeah wish I knew what happened to that rear end, was before I bought it. The leafsprings and shackles look straight, nothing looks twisted or buckled.

OGMB2K I'm happy with the height on the passenger side, but the drivers side is higher and would like it lower. They looked the same before I messed with the torsion bars, some people have told me that may be my issue, uneven load on them.

The torsion bars can have an effect on each side on the rear.

My friends and see if your driver side front was lower or that torsion bar had less tension on it the rear passenger side would lift up a little bit.

Same for the other side so what this means is you might have to fiddle with it and play with your front torsion bars to get it like you want it.

Just remember that when you're loosening or tightening the torsion bars Jack the truck up first to relieve the tension on them.

Too many people don't know this and they strip the anchor out.
