Hey everyone, I have a 2007 ram 1500 sport. I just got my readylift leveling kit put on today along with the supplied bumpstops, I noticed my driver side is about 3/4" higher then my passenger side. The passenger side is also touching on the bumpstop that came with the kit, driver side isn't touching. Anyone have this issue and any solutions?? Thanks!!

What is a leveling kit on those? Torsion keys? If that is the case, crank up the side that is lower.

No it's 2.5" spacers that mount on top of the coil as well as new bump stops, I'm puzzled by this

If there wasn't a spacer or a leveling strut on it when you put yours on then I doubt it was already level then

Sounds like something isn't seating right. I'd take it all apart and try again.

If it wasn't level before the kit was put on would that likely mean a bad strut? Because 3/4" seems like a lot of difference to me. And having the truck like that and getting my wheel alignment today is probably a waste of time then?

This morning I shaved the bumpstop down a bit, the control arm is no longer resting on the bump stop and I gained about 1-2" of height. I contacted readylift and they told me it's normal for the passenger side to sag a bit since the engine torque is applied to that side, is that true?

Never heard of that.. I've heard of the driver side sagging some cause of the gas tank being on that side but never what they told you
