Installed my lift, NOW DRIVERS SIDE IS LOWER THAN PASSENGER SIDE!!!???

I put a 6 inch superlift on my truck a few days ago. Today I noticed that the drivers side is about aninch lower than the passengers side, why in the world is this the case??? Is the track bar dragging that side down or something?

Yes I do have a track bar drop bracket on there. I have a drop pitman arm but I am using the stock one right now because it still works great.

Sounds like you need and adjustable track bar. Even with the drop bracket it sounds like your stock bar is coming up short.

my lift sags about an inch on the driver's side also, had the spring re-arched, started to sag again about 2 years later. Gonna take the lift off now and go back to stock with a leveling kit.

I JUST had my springs re arched and an add a leaf installed at my local spring shop. They said that almost all of these trucks they see have the drivers side lower and they have to compensate for it.

Did you install the lift yourself or have a shop do it? If a shop did it I'd make them fix it.
