Trim height question

[grimmye]

My left front wheel arch is 3/8 lower than right front wheel arch. Left measures 28 1/2 @C/L wheel and right side measures 28 7/8 @C/L front wheel. Tire pressure were just checked by Belle Tire and are up to snuff and wheel rims mearsure same side to side. Would this be an indicatof spring fatigue (with only 1475 mi that's hard to believe). grimmye

I know that's common on the full size pickups. I haven't even looked into whether my 'R is doing it either.

The fuel tank is on the driver's side, and that might be contributing to some of the "lean", especially if it's full.

3/8" sounds great. I'll bet Chevy would call that perfect (or at least "within specs"). I haven't measured my SSR, but I know I can get that kind of variance on my other trucks just by parking on a different section of driveway or turning the wheel a little.

When I was lowering my Silverado, I measured 4 or 5 new trucks at the dealership for reference (one was in the showroom). Measuring the frame at the back bumper, I didn't find any that were within 3/4".

Between spring "break-in", shocks, body mounts, fuel tank placement, temperature variables and all the other things that can change ride height, I'd say you're right in line!

don't forget it's straight geometry. it may be the opposite rear corner getting weaker and letting the front 'sag'. just a thought....

Maybe we should let the secret out about how to adjust the "wedge" on the R.
