Pull to the left after lift...

[SilverBullet75]

I believe that that much of a difference could be causing your problem.
But you'll need another alignment...

Gotcha. Makes sense. Thanks!

make sure your measuring with the rig on level ground such as a real flat parking lot.

Yep. I'm in my garage. Very flat. Thanks.

First park you VX on a good, level piece of ground then find a static marker that is identical on both sides of the truck...

Good method. Thanks!

You're just not gangsta lean'in to the right enough!

I'm almost to the point of getting a JDM to convert to RHD!
LOL

I think that the difference is definitely the cause of the pull.
When I install the HD Torsion Bars I'll be more careful on the measurements...

Thing is... I thought it WAS even when I did it. Maybe I'll take it off road a little and remeasure/adjust before getting it aligned.

Thanks all.

With the stock T/bars, its well worth taking a small file
and indexing the the bolt heads prior to cranking...
....we all forget how many turns we did t'other side


When you fit the HD T/Bars...and get it all set level etc...
...maybe index right away, for reference in the future.

Ditto. And driving it around will actually settle the bars some after adjusting. Just like with installing springs. I remeasure after about a week and it all is good then I get an alignment.

Good points.
thanks guys.

I was just thinking...

If I get a good measurement of fender to rim on both fronts, shouldn't I be able to match the heights when installing the new bars and NOT have to realign? (With the slight drop on the left side left in.)

thoughts?

Alignment is still required IMO...

Getting the lift equal on both sides is great, but that doesnt compensate
for the change in geometry of "A" arms etc that occurs as a result of the lift.
Toe in/out will change , and this will have repercussions relative to tire wear.


Do get a second opinion on this, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.
