I get the car setting level then put it on the scales. It is roughly 110 lbs heavy on the left rear. This is seems pretty normal for the crap I work with. By the time I get the numbers where I want them it took so much preload it sets 1.5" higher on the right rear. From what I thought was neutural it took 6 flats. Then when I take the preload back out it only takes like 2 flats to be loose. Adjuster is in lower bar on the ladder bar. I have front left spring 1.5" higher trying to put more weight to the right rear.
This is my 1st ladder bar car but I had it good last year. I put tubular a arms on it with new front springs over the winter.

I have 2 100lb weights I put in the car. I have lost a little weight about 180 so not exact but close. I had it 15 heavy right rear with the weight in it. Pushed up and down on the car to make sure it is settled. I took the 200 lbs out and climbed in and it went from 15 heavy right rear with 200lb in it to 20 heavy left rear 180lb in it. I don't know if I have something binding up or what is going on. It has what I consider crappy ladder bars and has no heims in the front which I don't like but ran out of time to change them.[/QUOTE]
