I've been experiencing a issue involving height related to torsion bars on my 1999 GMC Sierra. I am having trouble determining if it is the driver side torsion bar, or perhaps the driver side lower control arm being worn where the torsion bars sits in it. This issue is non-existent on the passenger side. On the driver side, I removed the torsion bar for some other work I was doing and when I re-installed it in the lower control arm, I noticed the keys were positioned differently literally every way I turned the bar or tilted the lower control arm on the driver side. The keys are the same but on the driver side the torsion key seems to sit lower than the passenger side when installing it making the driver side higher which in turn makes the lower control arm sit lower. This is causing far too much camber on the driver side making turn radius on that side a little sketchy. It is also making my lower control arm make contact with the steering knuckle. The ball joints are all new. Could this be a worn lower control arm, or possibly the torsion bar on the driver side alone? Is there a fix to correct the issue? If anyone has experienced this or can make better sense of it please let me know! -
I have a 2” leveling kit on ‘15 2500 Sierra and have had alignment done a couple times but pot hole throws it out and start getting a clunking from what sounds like under driver. could this be torsion bar mount bushings.?

I’m glad they finally added a 2014 2500 category! Always had me scratching my head where to post. 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Crew Cab. Bought with 6 inch lift. I don’t mind the rear being higher but to have the front sit higher is simply absurd and looks terribly ugly!!! God forbid you put any weight on it it dives down making it worse. I’ve always been one to crank the torsion bars up to get lift, never even occurred to me about lowering it to get the truck level. Is there anyway to tell what the normal factory position is, any kind of a line or mark? If not how can you tell if it’s maxed out one way or the other. All my research was always on raising it, are the potential problems you could run into the same problems you run into if you lower it? Thanks!
