    Drivers side front sag??

    Soo it absolutely drives me nuts but the front drivers side of my m1008 sits about an inch or so lower than the passenger side.

    I wouldn't even know where to start to get it back to 24 also I think one of the alternators is fried. Only the gen 1 light comes on goes off as it should which would mean the dummie light circuit is complete which would mean it's charging it I have no gen 2 light tried switching gen 1s bulb in...
