How can you level the suspension on a new Yukon?

04Yukon · July 30, 2004

My new '04 4WD Yukon is about 1/2" higher on the passenger side, front and rear. Are there any adjustments that can be done to level the entire truck?

It needs an alignment anyway. Are the torsion bars up front at least able to lift the driver's front to any degree? It just seems like the rear is way up in the air most of the time. A little front lift would help. It has the standard "smooth-ride" suspension.

If there is no rear level adjustment, I'd wonder about seperate rear air shocking to level the rear. Anyone ever tried this? I did that once in the '70s on this 450HP big block Dodge Wagon. Don't laugh to hard!

Thanks for the advice!

run it low on gas and recheck

Yep, I understand the tank issue. My '96 Tahoe had the same issue. I ran that truck with all shiftable weight on the passenger side for 8 years and right before I sold it, it was level. I'd rather not wait 8 years again, however.

Any other opinions on how to accurately level this chassis?

Thanks.
