Installed CPP suspension and now the truck sits lower on the passenger side

Like the title states, installed CPP springs and shocks on my 64 c10, 4 inch drop rear 3 inch in the front. After putting the truck back on the ground the passenger side is sitting about 2 inches lower than the drivers side. The difference from side to side is a little bigger in the rear than the front, but it is still pretty consistent. Any ideas on what to check?

Re: Installed CPP suspension and now the truck sits lower on the passenger side

Are the springs sitting in the spring pockets correctly? That can definitely make a difference. 3" drop springs are so short, I had problems that when I jacked the truck up and the suspension would drop, the springs would unseat themselves and sometimes I would have to manually rotate the springs to get them back in the seats correctly.

Going to 2" drop spindles and 1" drop springs cured that problem and rode some much better.

I would check what chevy_mike said...but if you still have the problem id check and make sure you didnt get a bad shock ,or wrong shock..could unhook the shocks and see if it levels out the truck or not.
