Rear suspension uneven

[lml]

I purchased a 71 C10 long bed with 3 in. drop in front and 3 in. drop in rear. All suspension components are fairly new. I like the stance but one side of the rear sits lower than the other. Is this a problem with the rear coil springs or is there an adjustment that I can make? Thanks in advance for any advice or information.

Welcome to the board.
Can you post any pics?
How well does the bed sit in relationship to the cab?

Welcome to the site. As Keith said pics would be nice. 1st thing I would do is measure from frame to trailing arm on both sides, this should tell you if the springs are the same. 2nd check bed mountings to see if one side might have rusted away. 3rd these long beds were worked hard and the frame could be cracked or bent. I had to repair one that was cracked across the top and 3/4 ways down the side, behind a bracket. Pic1 shows bracket removed, ready to grind out and weld. Pic 2 shows how someone tried to fix with a piece of angle iron. Pass side was a good 1-1/2" lower...Jim
