Airlift 1000 made me crooked!

[Antman]

I spent the day installing an Airlift 1000 kit in my 2011 SR5- everything went pretty well, especially after I took out the spare tire for more room! After the install, I took a drive at full pressure- 35psi- to check for leaks. No leaks, sofar sogood. Stopped to get gas, a full tank- got sick from the price. I walked a short distance away to check the stance, and realized a noticeable tilt to the drivers side (low). Almost 1/2 " wheelwell lip to tire difference left rear-right rear. Having just filled up- is it possible that it's the weight of the full gas tank? I hadn't noticed this before, though.
I checked all the "stuff"- both springs are seated properly top and bottem, and in exactly the same orientation as before. Sway bar, panhard rod hooked up. Shocks back on. I used the single-line setup which will supply equal pressure to both bags. Both bags are seatede properly on the spacers provided. All looks good under there!! I seem to remember some people saying they had a crooked 4runner as well. Any thoughts? Please- this will CONSUME me until I get it figured out!

I would add more air to the driver side and see if that helps it any. (nevermind, just read you tied them together) If it was me, I would keep the airbags separate and fill each one to level it out. Same principle goes for after market Coilovers up front. Most tend to crank the driver side up a little more to account for the driver side lean.


Most Toyota suv/trucks will tend to lean more on the drivers side due to the gas tank, battery and etc. Maybe you just never noticed it before??

I think that may be the case- just never noticed it? I guess I may have to go with the dual-line setup- Can I buy that airline at Pepboys, or something? I would hate to have to wait for it in the mail. Thanks for the response! I feel a little better now...

I just read the instruction manual online, this was mentioned...

It may be necessary to maintain different pressures on each side of the vehicle. Loads such as water, fuel,
and appliances will cause the vehicle to be heavier on one side (fig. 5). As much as a 50 PSI difference is not
uncommon

I'm sure you can find the air line at most auto part store, or at least maybe home improvement stores that sell Air Compressors. Air Lift also sells extra line here Air Line - Air Lift Company
