Will raising one side lift the other?

[car-reras]

I have to lift my car in the rear. Re-indexing the T bars got it just a tad too low.
The rear is even hight on both sides right now. I have room to raise it with the adjustable spring plate eccentric bolt on the driver side, but the passenger side is max raised already.
I only need about a quarter inch higher.
So, my question is, if I lift the driver side rear, will it raise, lower or not effect the passenger side rear? Basically, is there any chance I don't have to re-re-index?

I've talked myself into believing this is logical to raise the driver side slightly over the passenger anyway to account for my 200 pound driver weight.


I already have stout gas shocks in the rear, so that's out for getting it higher...

Fully independent suspension cars can raise or lower each corner independently from the other. However, if you raise the left rear, more weight will be transfered to the front right. Then you have to adjust the front right up then............ You can see where this is going. Changing one thing effects another than another. the only way to do it right is to set ride hight (index torsion bars) alignment and corner balance. no "just tweek it down a bit". That's one of the reasons I haven't lowered mine, it's expensive. You can lower the front end a bit. just turn the torsion bar adjustment bolt the same turns.

You will need a corner-balance. Get all the suspension work done, set the ride height then take it to a shop with the tools to get a corner-balance and alignment dialed-in. The alignment will effect suspension geometry so the corner-balance will change. The corner-balance will cause suspension geometry changes which alters the alignment...

It is a big, whole, confusing, tedious, expensive system. Unless you go coil-overs, then it is mainly just big and expensive.
