99 Sierra suspension lift problem

99 Sierra suspension lift problem

Postby Dcwerner22 [OP] » Feb 04 2012, 4:59pm

I have a 99 Sierra with a 6" suspension lift. The front is sitting about an inch and a half higher than the back. Have 5" block in the rear sitting on top of the factory block. Tried cranking down on the torsion keys but still isn't right. Any suggestions?

Did adjusting the torsion bars not lower it any?

Was the rear aways lower since the lift install ? Sounds like rear leafs have fatigued and lost some of there spring. Local spring shop can give you some options.

rear springs look good and lowering the tortion didnt do enough, can I take out the factory block replace it with a 3 in block and stack it with my 5 in block. I have about 2 in of thread left on my ubolts

I would contact the lift manufacturer and see if they offer a block the size you need.

Do NOT Stack Blocks! Besides, with that much block in the back you will have some wicked axle wrap. Do your self a favor and get a set of Deavers.
