Re: Drop Spindle install issue...suggestions needed

Sorry, I never posted my after pics on this thread. My fault. I finally finished the drop, but for some reason my passenger side wheels seem to sit about -1 1/4" further in than my driver side. I'm not sure if it's my passenger or driver's side, but I don't really notice any major issues with the frame. I could be wrong, though. I've been on a money crunch for a bit, so I still haven't finished the back. I did a flip kit, but still want to go another 1-2" back there.

I also have another issue with the passenger side sitting about 3/4-1 1/2" lower than my driver side. I'm not sure what that is, but it varies after I drive it a bit. I was thinking about putting a spacer under the spring, but I'm not sure how big of a spacer I need because of the fluctuation. Do you all think this may be the shocks (I still haven't replaced them yet) that may be causing this fluctuation in height?

I've been dealing with an electrical issue with my headlights and turn signals as well and just got that all figured out last night. I went ahead and replaced all the light harnesses up front and that seemed to fix it. I also added some custom tail-lights out back. I'm gonna be using a piece of diamond plate for the bed floor instead of the traditional wood bed kit. Anyhow, here are my updated pics:
