"Question #3: What if my truck seems uneven side-to-side after I drop it?

Answer: First, remember that even brand new trucks on the dealer lot are not perfectly level. Measure them and you'll see. Secondly, consider that an uneven truck is not nearly as noticeable until you lower it and bring the down the wheelwell gap. That being said, there are things you can do to try to moderate this effect;

A. Make sure that your front coil springs are properly seated with the end of the coil butting up and inserted into the indentation in the bottom of the lower a-arm.

B. In the event your rear leaf spring mounting bolts were im-properly tightened (or over-tightened) while the truck was still in the air, loosen the leaf spring mounting bolts at the front hangers and rear shackles, then, while the truck is on the ground...flip down the tailgate and use your weight to jump up and down on it to release any uneven torque in either of the leafs before re-tightening the leaf spring mounting bolts while the truck is on the ground.

C. If nothing else works, and you're still bothered by the look, the last resort is to swap your front coils or rear leafs left-to-right. Remember, coils and leafs have a design tolerance of up to +/- 3/8", so while it is rare, they could cause one side of the truck to go 3/8" higher and the other side 3/8" lower in the course of being dropped, for a total of 3/4" off side-to-side. This, combined with a truck that was a little off from the factory, could result in as much as 1.5" variance side-to-side. Swapping the springs left-to-right will usually even up the tolerances enough to correct the condition visually."
