Driver's side is 3/4" lower than pass. side
I've replaced all of the springs w/ 2" Rough Country lift springs and I replaced the body mounts w/ new GM rubbers. The truck is still 3/4" lower on the driver's side. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks, Chad.

lol, my Pass. side is a little lower cause I just blew out a Rancho RS5000 for no known reason, so I got some real cheap shock on their now, and the rest of the RS5000's. I wasnt even wheeling, I was just driving down a road, not being rough on it or anything. they are 2 months old!
Anyways, that is my story. For your issue, are you sittin in the truck when you notice it is lower?

Forgot to mention that I've got dual tanks. No, I'm not in the truck when I notice the lean. Did your shock blowout cause your truck to lean? I hadn't even thought about the shocks, thanks for your help.

There was a post about the same problem a few months back. The guy did about everything and never did solve the problem. I think he finally sandbagged the right side.
I wonder if you should weigh both sides of your truck independantly to see if both sides are even and then sandbag it. I always wondered why the front left spring has a piece that keeps the shackle from going back too far and special pieces across the front to contain the spring. It seems like they where expecting the left front spring to break. Good luck

swap front springs side to side. could be a mis-matched set. Are your cab mounts and frame supports straight? i.e. not bent or crushed a little?
