Truck unlevel after lowering
I actually did this months ago, but just recently decided to investigate, I installed a 3/5 cpp spring kit on my 63 lwb pickup and the passenger front is about an inch higher than the driverside, I confirmed the springs are seated right, and hoped they would settle. I later noticed this situation goes away when I put the rear of the frame on jack stands....thoughts? Could a binding issue in the rear cause this? Like a shock bottomed out or something? I can't visually see anything wrong, just looking for ideas, thanks. oh and it's very possible this existed before the lowering, but I didn't notice it. Thanks for any help!

Re: Truck unlevel after lowering
is the trac bar in the rear stock? if so is the side where it mounts to the frame that is lifted? I think with a 5 inch u need a adjustable trac bar/pan head whatever its called lol

Re: Truck unlevel after lowering
It's the opposite side, I did have to get an adjustable trac bar, it almost pushed the passenger tire out the fender opening lol. Thanks for the fast reply

Re: Truck unlevel after lowering
That's interesting, in the near future I'm gonna add dropped spindles to the front and blocks to the rear, I think at that time I will swap coils side to side and see what happens. Anyone know of any drawbacks to trimming just one coil if need be? Yea that sounded like a horrible idea just typing it lol.
