Ok I am confused.....
I just put a 2"/4" drop on my 67 short box. I have 225/70/15 on the front and 275/60/15 on the rear. I installed new drop shocks as well.
Ok this is the confusing part. ....I measure from the ground to the bottom of the wheel opening on the front drivers side and passenger side and get 28 3/4". On the drivers side rear I am getting 28 3/4" but the passenger side rear I am getting 29 1/2 ". What can I do to adjust this? I noticed it today when i was standing behind the truck. thanks for the help, I am sure I am missing something easy..... thanks

Re: Ok I am confused.....
it appears to be straight.....i am measuring off the cement garage floor but i noticed it when it was parked in the drive way....cement as well...
not sure how to correct 3/4" difference in the passenger side rear. maybe the spring is stiffer on that side? who knows......

Re: Ok I am confused.....
It sounds ridiculous, but try swapping the rear springs from side to side. If the truck still 'leans' the same, it could be the frame. If the 'lean' changes, it could very well be the springs.

Re: Ok I am confused.....
Thanks,
I will try it tonight and see what happens. I wouldn't normally make a big deal about it but from the rear of the truck the back bumper is not level as well.

Re: Ok I am confused.....
are the rear springs new? While they are out, I would measure the height of them too, although they may compress to different heights. What about the shocks? One may be bad?

Re: Ok I am confused.....
make sure your front springs are seated in the pockets.
