    Double bypass would be fine, you can still use it as a bump zone

    I was going to ask him if he had any idea why my driver side rear sits nearly two inches lower than the passenger side. I've asked on here before and people say its the taco lean. I really dont think it is...My front is pretty much even..its just the rear that is lower..I just measured yesterday and my gas tank is near empty so that cant be it..

    I have an idea, but it's only based on the problems with my truck that Giant did. Did Giant do your install?
    Measure the distance of your front spring hanger to your rear shackle pivot. When Giant did the install on my truck, there was a 1" difference between the driver's and passenger side. Front hangers were dead nuts equal, but the rear pivots were off by an inch.

    Why do you think I chopped up my truck (aside from it being 56.5" and 57.5" spread instead of the magical 52.5")? I tried living with it but finally gave up.
    Hacked up my bedcage, bought TC pivots and gussets and moved them where they were supposed to be. Now I actually can cycle my full shock. Before the suspension topped out 3" before the shock ran out.

    I didn't pay for it (in terms of money)....previous owner did. But after countless hours of trying to figure out wtf was wrong, Dangler told me to go measure, and sure enough there was my problem.

    What rear do you have?

    I did the install myself so maybe that is why...One thing I did different was I used the stock spring hangers. I didn't use the GIANT ones :crapstorm:

    I would have had to lift the cab in order to get the rivets out..or a torch but people didn't think I should do that...the rear hangers were bad enough (took me 7 hours to get 6 rivets out). I'll do some more measuring today though..since the front hangers are the stock ones, they should be equal

    you know what..I'm going to measure it before I fill up..both sides and see what happens. I would assume it to get worse..I wana say it seems more noticeable on an empty tank..but that doesn't make sense
