I lowered my yukon 2/3" with McGuaghys kit and the passengers side sits a little bit higher, about one finger when your using your hand.
Does anyone else that lowered Yukon/Tahoe have this same issue?

thanks

I measured mine before and after I installed my Mcgaughys 2/3. The passenger rear was a half inch higher then the drivers side before I lowered it. It was also a half inch higher after I installed the kit.

I have lowered all my Chevy/GMC 1/2 tons. It does not matter if you static drop it or drop it with air bags. The DRIVER side is always lower than the passenger side. I used a Bell Tech drop on my 07 Yukon and it is adjustable. You put different rings over the struts. I was able to make mine "more level" but still not perfect.

Never noticed this, is that for back and front. Basically is the drivers front and rear lower than the passenger front and rear.
If so it can't be by more that 0.4" because its not noticable, atleast not to me:)

yes very common thats one thing where the belltech struts are a winner. I hate it when it sits uneven customers complain like heck also because they think installer did something wrong.

Just finished my Belltech 3/4 late last night, and I noticed the same thing- right at 1/2" higher on the passenger side. Nobody but me will ever notice, but it's nice to know there's no strange tweak or something on the wife's new Hoe. I'm in the doghouse enough as it is!

My yukon has the McGaughy's 4-5 kit on it with spindles and springs up front. After taking a trip to the dealership. I noticed that a moajority of the brand new trucks sit the same way ( about 1/2-3/4" lower on drivers side). either way I would never heat a spring to try to fix this small problem. haha I just thought it was me ( i am a heavier guy)
