Hey,
my truck is not level and I was wondering what was causing it. I think that it is bad shocks but what do you all think? Here are the measurements. Frt left = 35.25, Frt rt = 36.5, Back left = 34.5, Back rt = 36. I was wondering what the factory clearance was between the ground and the fender edge. I have a 92 chevy K1500. Do you think that this is caused by poor shocks. Also, does anyone know how large of Tire I can put on a stock 92 K1500? Thanks for your help.

Hey there, we talked about this here awhile back. I also have a 92, and for your tires you'll clear 265/75/16's no problem. My truck also rode unlevel and I cranked up my front torsion bars and measured the front to get it level, and it is now but the difference in my front sides was only half an inch. The back somebody on here said that because it's a half ton truck a full tank/empty tank makes a difference. You could always check tire pressure to and make sure its the same, I have 10 ply tires so 10 psi difference wouldn't be noticeable at all. New shocks never hurt either, are they factory ones or when were they last changed?
