Default Suspension Jacked up?

I just go my new H3 one week ago. I brought it home for the folks to see and as we were looking at it we noticed it was clearly leaning to the left. We thought it was maybe the tire pressure but we checked all the tires and they all had 31 lbs in the tires.

Any thoughts? Help traveling 3 hours on Thursday morning.

Almost all of them are .5 - 1.5" low up front on the driver side. All it takes is a Torsion Bar adjustment, you can do it when you get home if do not have tools where you are now. Search for more info. Here is athread linkwhere Ihooked up a bunch of reading. RE: Want to raise the H3

the 'full tank of gas' lean is normal on GM trucks...I wouldn't worry about it.

As a funny follow up to this I just adjusted mine. I found that my driver's side was SERIOUSLY low as compared to the passenger side. After continued tweaking, I now have it where they are under 1/4" difference side to side. I didn't try to "level" mine...but did crank them enough to raise it roughly 1" in the nose...so I got rid of the stinkbug look anyway.

Thanks for all the help when I was researching! My next move is a set of the Cognitos also as recommended here.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks so much KS. That sounds like exactly what it is. I will measure here in a few minutes but that sounds dead on to what my problem is.

You were probably parked on an unlevel surface.Gas tank and this could be a factor.H3 has a very soft suspension.
