    rear axle alignment

    rear axle alignment

    I noticed the rear axle is off centre.can I just loosen the U-bolts on the leaf springs and slide it over, or is there a pin under the leaf spring?.

    it has a trailer hitch on it perhapes the rear springs are a little more heavy duty, I like when they sit level or even a hair higher in the front, mine needs to come up about 1" in the front to level it. a tire shop told me that I could get a key from GM for those torsion bars to crank them up...

    I'll look into them. If I cranked up the front tortion bars,(never had a vehicle with this kind of front suspension) to lift the front up about 1" to level the vehicle,would I need an alignment?, and possibly longer front shocks? thanks
