    Rear end not level

    I noticed that when I put my bell tech shackles about 9-10 months ago that the passenger side is an inch or so higher then the driver side only in the rear. Unfortunately I did not measure before I put the shackles on. I have taken the shackles off and put them back on and checked everything and cannot figure out why one side would be higher. Could it be the leaf springs that are not right? Anyone know why this could be happening? Or what I could do to fix this?

    Northern... which position are your shackles in? Mine are curently in the #2 hole net lowering 1.25" & the truck is 5/8 or so different side to side...

    I am changing mine to the full "2 inch" drop as claimed tomorrow.. I will post measurements for you.

    Mine is set to the so called 2" drop. But it has a noticeable difference. Is the #2 whole the bottom whole or the top whole.

    The 2" hole would be the top hole. Even if you had it in the wrong hole it shouldn't set crooked, unless you had each side in a different hole.
    It sounds like you may have a defective leaf spring...

    Yeah its in the top whole and it is in the same whole on both sides. I kind of have thought all along that the leaf spring was the problem.
