Uneven Rake!

After installing 5100s and setting them at 1.75 and adding a 1.5 inch aal in the rear, I have noticed that the passenger side has more rake than the driver side. I also realized after installing the lift that the end of the coil (where it sits in the spring perch) is facing forward on the passenger side, while on the drivers side it is facing the rear. Could this be the problem? Or is it something with the aal..? Thanks for any input!!

 

Define rake,
Front end lower that rear or rear lower than front?

Either way make sure the springs are on the correct side. Some springs have a passenger and driver side. Same goes with the rear. They should have some kind of cokor marking on the to tell it apart. So might wsnt ti double check

 

Rake as in front end lower than the rear. I know the springs are on the right side. It is the drivers rear that is noticeably lower than the passenger rear.

 

What are your measurements? The "taco lean" isn't unusual in these trucks. The fuel tank is on the back driver side, so with a full tank you will lean a tad towards that side.

 

taco lean would mean more rake on the driver's side due to additional weight on that side. sounds like you have reverse taco lean.

when you say more rake on the passenger side you mean the angle is greater on that side, right?

 

"It is the drivers rear that is noticeably lower than the passenger rear."

 

driver's rear billy set different than the rest?

 

On flat ground , what are the hub to fender measurements in on all 4 points ?

 

The rear Bilsteins aren't adjustable. Only the fronts.

You're going to have some difference in the height. How much difference between the 2 sides are you talking about? I've always had some difference on my trucks.

 

These measurements are on flat ground from ground to fender. Sorry OZ I did it previously in my garage and recorded it.

LF:37
RF:37.25
LR:38.75
RR:39.5

This is with a half tank of gas

 

I know it doesnt sound like much, but with a full tank of gas it is even more noticeable. I have seen people report the rear to be off by a quarter inch, but not any more than that

 

Do from hub center to fender.. Even on "flat ground" the measurements can be thrown off by a number of things, but the hub to center measurement will account for most of them..

 

Okay, Ill take the measurements tomorrow when I put my truck in the garage again. I guess tire pressure will affect those measurements...
