Can leveling a truck really be this hard?

So based on the pictures I posted in the thread, does it look like they are on the right sides? Kinda looks that way to me... The passenger side definitely has two different colors.

 

If I unbolt the sway bar links, will that throw off my alignment?

 

It shouldn't, but you can always bolt it back in place. I doubt it will make much of a difference. Unbolt it while parked on level ground and see if there is any pressure on the sway bar.

 

Yes, you can still see a little speck of blue on the drivers side where it rubbed off, so I would say they are on the correct sides.

 

Another " Taco lean " culprit that is extremely common is worn out core wall body bushings. There is a rubber body busing right under the battery that gets crushed over time and can literally be squashed a full 1/4". This results in the whole left front corner of the truck leaning 1/4". Many threads about his over the years, good news is that Energy Suspension makes poly replacement bushings to solve the problem.

 

How difficult is it to replace?

 

Very easy DIY, just one bolt through the center of the bushing.
