Hello

I have posted this before that I am unhappy with the lean of my truck. it is considerably higher in the back than it is in the front. Most of the guys on here replied back that all of the LTZ's are like that. The question I have though is I see other LTZ's that don't appear to be as angled as mine.

So last night my best friend was over who has a 2010 ltz and I took a tape measure from the ground to the bottom of the fenders on both of our trucks. His naturally appears more level than mine and I wanted to measure to verify.

My truck from ground to bottom of rear fender measured just over 38", His was 36-1/8". My front was also over an 1.5" lower than his confirming that my truck appears to have much more of a back to front lean.

Does anyone have an answer to why this is, and also is there a fix?

Thanks
Mike

mike i would just get the rear drop spring set up and will lower it right down. You can also adjust the autoride links in rear to bring it down a little.

what does the front measure from ground to fenderlip on your truck?

You mentioned adjusting the auto ride links to lower the rear?

yes to install the rear springs/shock extenders at MAX will take 45 minutes.

its not that hard but does take more time. If you worked on suspension before fronts wont be hard. Some guys do the rears themselves then on fronts they take to a shop which at most will be 2 hours to put in keys or spindles
