Yeah I figured that message would fix it I just can’t pinpoint why all of a sudden the driver side would go up not down so basically if I level it out I’m going to take away the drop aspect of the truck I’m baffled at why the Driver side would raise up front and back
That’s a good question. Have you put it on jack stands and inspected everything to see if something looks out of place like a spring not in its pocket? Maybe try that and if nothing looks wrong drop it down with the floor jack fast on the driver side to see if it settles. I can jack one side of mine at a time by finding the balance point on the frame to jack from, then if I drop the jack fast it settles good. Just a thought.

I personally would start by jacking up the rear of the truck, with the jack under the pumpkin of the diff. After both wheels are in the air, look to see if they are equally spaced at the gap of the wheel to the wheel well. If both sides are about equal. Than you know the problem is in the front. If they arent equal, its in the rear.

Edit: This will at least get you started. Its possible its in the front and back.

it’s the weirdest thing the driver side raised up ….. Passenger side is the height it’s supposed to be after it was lowered

So now I’m so confused maybe it is leaning to the passenger side But that’s a huge difference Does anybody know how I can find the stock height of an 02 Escalade 2 Wheel Dr ? Just curious because then I can deduct the drop spindles and keys to see what the lower height would be
