Ride height issues 03 denali

[tribalbreak]

hey ive been noticing that on my 03 denali the front end rides alot lower then the rear. i thought when i first got it that maybe it was due to the larger motor and that it has the towing package or what not... but ive seen other denalis and they dont seem to ride as low... i parked next to one today and their front had maybe an inch and a half 2 inches on my truck (tire to wheel well)... some body said maybe tighten up the torsion bars? but i dont want to sacrifice ride quality and i dident think they had 2 inches of adjustment. i just want it to look alittle more level like the rest... any suggestions? do you guys think there is a problem?

I have noticed the same with my tahoe, and I replaced the shocks with OEM shocks. No help

so i took the nali into the shop today and relized the torsion bar keys were set all the way down... i guess whoever had the truck before me dropped it as far as it would go... so i took them back up and inch or so and the truck has the ride height i was looking for... it sits about 37" in the rear and 35 1/4 in the front and looks pretty even... much better then before when the front was at about 34"... that little bit makes a big difference. u guys think i will have any alighnment issues?

You'll be fine as long as they did an alignment after adjusting the bars, mine doesn't have any tire or alignment issues and it's 2 1/2" lower than yours up front.

well i adjusted my torsion bars myself in the shop while i did my oil change... im just going to wait to do an alignment when i get my new tires... seems to ride fine just very slight pull to the right... might have been the road.

Whenever the bars are adjusted you have to realign. Even if you think it steers ok the caster split is way off and will wear the hell out of your tires. Just be sure to get it aligned as soon as you can.
