Default ANOTHER SUPID QUESTION!!!!

Yup im back with my uneducated questions once again but hey it keeps us all busy!!!!!

I read all this about leveling the truck and i finally figured out what it meant. Can you do this without purchasing anything or do you need to buy certain kits and stuff. My truck is a lease and im not trying to put alot of money into it soI wanna level it ifI can do it without purchasing anything. Also how do I do it????

Thanks guys and keep your jokes to a minimum children ( not going to mention names) LMAO

Oh and HAPPY THANKS GIVING everyone and dont drink and drive a HUMMER you may kill everyone insite but then again you will be home safe so lol

I'm sure a 3er will be by anytime to help you on this.

it just involves cranking two adjusters under your ride a little tighter than you should get a wheel alignment so probably under 100 bucks.

if you only go 2-3 turns,nothing is affected,but it will not be level.if you go more then that,your ride will be bouncy unless you get longer shocks or shock extenders.those are your 2 options really

I believe it is a 1 1/16 socket. After you do it, take it to the dealer and tell them it is pulling to one side or the other. They should due it for free (mine did). You can check the FAQ area of this forum, and it explains everything. Also take a marker and place a "wittness" mark on the bolts so you can keep track of the number of turns. After your done though, make sure you wipe them off. That's how the dealer knew I adjusted mine. I just played stupid. I guess I kinda was because I forgot to erase the marks. Most importantly though, have it alligned even if it doesn't pull. Mine didn't but the top of the tires were leaning way in and I have noticed better gas milege since (maybe a coincedence).
