uneven rear springs ?

I have new 4" drop springs in my 67 SWB, one side of the bed is 3/4" higher than the other. I would like the higher side to match the other. How can I fix this ? I was thinking about clamping a couple of coils together to lower it. Anybody done this? I have seen spacers for raising them but have never seen clamps for doing this. Thanks for the help

Thats what I'm thinking also, has to be the springs making it uneven, nothing else there.

Be sure to check the frame Height, I had the same problem, and it turned out to be the crossmembers of the box were our of whack, I ended up changing those to correct the Droop in the one side.

Good luck.
