HELP WITH LEANING TRUCK

[Hawzzy]

Well here goes...jsut fininshed lifting the 01 last week and was noticing while sitting behind it that the rear shocks were at different angles and the truck is leaning. ????? Could it be because of the panhard rod...the way it connects to the axle and then the body could explain it...the higher it goes the more off centre the truck and axle will be...is there any way to adjust it??? Does anyone understand where im coming from???

 

TYE...

P.S upon closer inspection..the axle is definately shifted to the left of the centre line of the truck?????

You'd need either a panhard rod drop down bracket (not sure if there's anything commercially available for your rig) to get the panhard rod back to "level".

has anyone else with same r50 had this prob...its only an ome lift..like 2.5 " or so...im sure it will "settle" down a little after driving a bit.(the height that is)

my wife backed into a parked car at the end of our driveway at the rear passenger side...ive heard of vehicles getting bent or twisted from low speed impacts on the corner b4!!!

sounds like the panhard bar. which im pretty sure is needed with that lift. check out rocky road or 4x4parts.com.

Something needs to be purchased or fabbed up. If you have a decent local fab shop, they could set you up no problem.
