It seems like the upper shell has a little more room over the lower shell on the driver side but this doesn't seem to change much with our leveling activities. The lift bar for the back is not actually becoming perpendicular to the ground - can't figure out why not. Have not had any problems like this in past and just set it up about 4 weeks ago. We are setting it up in our driveway (thank goodness not at a park) to do some maintenance. Any suggestions?

Hi Missy, sorry I haven't been on for a couple of days.

If everything opened up normally in the past, I'd look for something binding. I'd probably look inside the pocket stops when the shells closed. Do you know that the pocket stops are? I'll try to find a picture of mine later, or you can look in my album for the pocket stops and take a picture of yours so we can see them. There may have been something that got inside there to prevent it from opening the last 4 inches.

I just saw this just before my lunch so I've gotta eat now, but I thought I'd leave this for you to consider.

At this time, I wouldn't suspect anything with the torsion bars themselves.
