02 screw level issue
I wanted to raise the front of my truck to level it but when i crawled underneath I discovered the screw on the driver side was already turned almost all the way in. I assumed the two screws would be even from side to side but not the case.
Has anyone else run into this or is there someone wrong with my suspension?

Look right at the top of your monitor. Fat bobs garage sells a front leveling kit pretty reasonable. I've been pondering doing this to my truck.
But when I pull the camper the truck levels out fine. If I do the front level will the truck then squat with the camper on? I don't know.
By the way, what screws are you talking about?

Thanks for the fat bobs tip. I would think that the rear would squat a bit if the truck was level and you added the extra weight to the rear springs. Right below the front seats are the torsion bar ends. There are 2 bolts that face downward that you can turn inward to level the front up to a couple inches. The problem on my truck is that one bolt is turned almost all the way in and the other is not, therefore I can not level it. looks like I will have to buy the leveling kit being as no one has had this problem.

the screws on a new truck are rarely set the same. there are variations in the cam, the torsion bar, and A-frame, and the anchor spot. thats what the screw is for, to be a final adjustment so both side set the same. there can be 3-4 turns of the screw different from side to side on a new truck. factory also has a habit of setting the drivers side in a little further and it is level with driver in the seat, no passenger.
