Could somebody measure from the middle of the fender in the rear and tell me what it measure with 3 inch blocks? Mine reads 28-3/4" on my passanger rear and my drivers rear reads 29-1/4"

but the famous chevy lean is known for the front.. this is happening in the rear.. it might just be the ground, i dunno i'll try another spot tomorrow to measure it out

well shit... are those with stock tires too?

a 96 ss has the zq8 suspension. it is allready 1.5" lower with springs.
the lean is usually both front and back. front is just usually more than the back.

but i don't have springs, i have spindles up front.. i just have blocks in the back... does that mean i might have a weak leaf spring or ?

Unfortunately I have stepped on a few toes in regards to the "lean". I stopped by the local chevy dealer yesterday to try to get some "specific" answers to the lean but struck out. There seems to be a lot of theories but no hard facts as to the cause...sorry...:dunno:

[97sdime]

do you have a lower profile tire or drop leafs? i wish i was 23"

 

[black97s10SS]

2" drop left and 5" blocks and 205 40 17'"

 

[minitruck_freq]

make sure its on level ground and all tires have equal air pressure.

I prefer to call it the "gangsta lean" instead of the chevy lean.

that 1/2 inch is not noticable unless you stare at your truck for hours and hours as we all do. mine is within 1/2 all around and it is not noticable.
