Okay I have a 99 ranger 4x4. Somebody else lifted my truck (I bought it lifted 1.5") and the only way I can see they lifted it was via cranking the t bars. Bottom line my truck pulls to the right and I already got it aligned, so I measured each side of the truck to see what the heights were, and the front drivers was 34.5" from the ground to the top of the tire cutout (fender well.. Don't know what it's called..) and the passenger front was 34.25". The back drivers was 35.25" and the back passenger was 34.75". So I figured I would crank the passenger front t bar to level the truck out. Got it on flat ground and cranked that side.. I had to crank it 2.5 turns in order for the front to be the same height.. Which ended up being 35" (weird that it lifted the drivers side since I didn't crank it). The back still has the same heights.. How do I get the back to both have the same height? And my truck still pulls right? Any ideas? Let me know of anything that's unclear..

Thanks!
 
Also I noticed the drivers side bolt was cranked way more than the passenger sides.. Is this normal? Or should they both have the same threads showing? I tried loosening the drivers side and it was really tough compared to the passenger side

That's normal. It's because I the gas tank on the drivers side.

Rotate your tires and see if the pull changes.

Also keep in mind that almost every road ever built is crowned to the right, to let water run off the road, and your truck will follow the crown if everything is set perfectly to spec.
 
Ride height per factory specs is not done by the fender well or anywhere on the body. It is done at specific locations on the suspension. Body panels can have a great deal of variability.
