Truck Leans???

i have a 2003 2500HD.
it has 285 tires instead of 245's.
i've always thought it leaned to the left.
measured from ground to top of wheel wells and it is shorter by 1" at the front and 1.25" at the rear.

i don't notice any pulling to the left or anything like that.
is this an easy fix

?

any thoughts appreciated,

leans side to side or front to back?

Check tire pressures first. Then, measure from the top of the tire. Maybe on of your torsion bars if off a little.

05 LLY,
the whole truck leans to the left.

diesel nut,
tire pressure is good.
how do you adjust the torsion bars?

is that when its full of fuel also? might want to thing about what side the tank is on, I dont know that it would make it lean a whole inch tho.

pull the truck on a level floor like a garage floor and measure for a few points on the frame and body of the front of the truck (same spot on each side) to the floor. see what the diff.is and which ever is lower turn that side bar up, or the other side down! The torsion adjust ment is a 18 mm bolt on both sides under the truck on the croosmember under the transfercase tail shaft! after each adjustment of the bolt be sure to move the truck a few feet back and forth before remeasuring to get the right measurement!
