I'm going to be leveling my front end this week end due to the driver side 1" dip. I'm just wondering if anyone can provide a few helpful techniques for doing this? Should I raise the front end first, how many turns on the bolt to start, etc.

Thanks in advance! smile.gif

There is a lot of good information in previous post. Use the search tool and put in "adjustment". There is a detailed procedure to follow in one of these post and it is great.

one full turn will give you 1/4" of lift. you need a 18mm socket 4 full turns and you level!Mine was off by 1/2 from day 1 I think there set with out fuel in the tank? or maybe the bars just sag it differnt rates?

DURAMAN,
I just leveled mine today...it was very easy. I checked my tire pressure (cold) and then measured from the ground to the top of the fender well above the tire...I was 5/16" low on the passenger side at a height of 39 1/16". I raised the passenger side to 39 6/16" and then took it up 1 1/4" on both sides for clearance for my new tires/rims. The new height on both sides is 40 5/16". I am getting it realigned tomorrow. I have noticed a little stiffer ride, but I am sure I won't notice it after a couple days. Good luck.
