2" drop springs leaning?

[Dapper Dan]

Got my 2" springs installed, and i am pretty happy how it turned out. At least for a little while.

The only thing bugging me is the passenger side is slightly higher than the drivers side. I noticed it with the old springs and hoped it was just a worn out spring, but no luck.

Measuring from the ground it's a little more than a half inch. I know it doesn't sound like much but now that I have noticed it will drive me crazy.
Anyone else have this problem before?

Anyway here is a before and after shot

My truck has the same problem. Except mine has a difference of 1"!! I hope a set of 4" dropped leafs will help. However, I think the truck frame is wrapped. Too much torque on that side!!

I agree. My guess is that the tollerances that the trucks are built with allow there to be that kind of a difference. When you take into consideration a twist that may be in the frame, the play in mounts that hold everything together, even the tire pressures, etc., you could quickly end up with 1/2" of difference. We all just dont notice things like this when our trucks sit like monster trucks. But when we lower them down to earth things are closer to the ground which is (in theory) an almost flat and level surface when we look at small areas.

Had same problem with my 84 as many of you have had . Yes if youre like most of us it will drive you crazy . mine was 1 in sag . used a 1 in spacer under spring when my 3 in coils were installed > a ok now > good luck . Very common with these trucks .

Check the rear. For years my Camaro had the lean, and I jacked around with the front ad-nauseum. Turns out the rears were causing the lean and NOT the fronts. Since your truck had the lean BEFORE the lowering springs, I would guess you may have same issue. Might consider swapping rears side to side and see what happens.

Thanks for the idea mike c, I think I will try that next weekend. If thats not the problem I guess I'll just live with it

No spring is going to sit the truck perfectly level, not even a new truck will sit level. Every spring settles differently, trying to make them perfectly the same will waste a lot of your time.
