I'm out of whack somewhere... but where?
New body mounts (energy suspension poly's) and I kept the original shims in place with new washers, but the cab seems to be high on the driver side, and the control arms seem to sit at different angles.... any way to adjust?

These arms seem to be at different angles...

Sounds like one of your front coil springs may be weak and sagging.... LockDoc

Which is strange cause they're brand new, with barley 100 miles on them.

Re: I'm out of whack somewhere... but where?
Looks like you need to do more research and measuring to see if and what is bent or installed incorrectly.

Re: I'm out of whack somewhere... but where?
I did notice however that my springs (when truck is jacked and no weight on suspension) my drivers spring I can move with my hand and passenger is movable but much tougher to move/wiggle. They're 3 inch CPP drop springs.

Make sure the springs are seated properly into the notch in the lower control arm?
On a 68 1/2 ton, leaving one out of the notch caused that side to ride higher by about an inch. -klb
