Yes, find yourself a big girl to put in the passenger seat to offset the lean.

Are the body bushing on the driver side cracked ? Last time I saw a chevy with a lean that was the answer.
I may have to look into this too:

Interesting... First time I see the puck mod for the body lift mod.

I know...right.
I'm going to see about the front torsion bar...maybe hit the pass. side a little...to level it...then alignment (the old pass. tire was worn way down even on the outside)
Just got the new tires so know I notice the 'tilt'! :sign:

Body lift is probably way cheaper to just buy. Then you'll get all Poly, and hardware needed. Somethings are just easier to buy then make. I know guys in the past that just drill holes in hockey pucks and stack them to the desired height and toss a longer bolt in them. My body lifts in my jeep were DIRT cheap came with all hardware, poly crush bushings for top and bottom, and that hardened plastic (whatever) it is they use risers. Good luck post some pics.
My old parts manager had one of those, and he always tightened the shit out of the torsion bar bolts up front and it jacked the front right up. Not sure if you yr make model has the same option to do so.

Huh?
LOL...
I'm going to check the mounts as you mentioned...then see about the torsion bars.
The new tires(all being even) ....really show how the Burban sits....and it's not good!
I mean it could be other things as well. Before I get it align....I need to have the chit checked and adjusted
No extreme...a kit would lift eh whole thing (unless it's a leveling kit as well)...and that's around $250 and up.
For under $100 I can make a stepped set to level out the ride.
