ive got a 02 silverado ext cab with rough country leveling kit the driver side upper control arm is pretty much sitting on the droop stop. my passenger side is close but isnt as bad, my driver side torsion bar bolt is turned in more than my passenger side but my passenger side sits higher than my driver side still. is my t-bars sagging or whats my problem? ive still got more room to adjust on the bolt but i dont think it will go up much more on the driver side bcz of the droop stop, is there any remedy to correct it anything i can do to the droop stop?

if you are on the droop stop, you are cranked too high, with leveling keys, you dont need to crank them much like a stock key, because they are indexed differently.
dont do anything to the droop stop, that is there to keep you from over extending the ball joint/cv joint from blowing up on you.
Your drivers side will always need more turns then the passenger, the gas tank is on that side, making what is known as chevy lean. figure a full tank of gas, 26 gallons is somewhere between 200 and 250 lbs on the drivers side. the other solution for that is to put a 1" lift shackle on the drivers side to even out the back.

yea its almost on droop stop on driver side its not all the way there but when i take a left handed turn the left wheel squeals but my angles isnt bad at all i dont think
exactly, a droop stop is a consistant measurement no matter if the bar is worn or not, if the a arm is close to the droop you have bad angles.
i would put a lift shackle on the drivers rear, and take some turns out of that bar.

im gonna take some turns out of it this weekend. just out of curiosity what is some of yalls measurements after leveling or leveling kit?
well i didnt turn my bars down any yet i changed from my summer tires (16x10s with 315/75/16) to my winter tires (16x8s with 265/75/16) my driver side upper control arm i now can get my finger in between the control arm and stop so idk what the deal is haha but my driver side still squeals on that side when taking a left handed turn so maybe its out of alignment hopefully
