Re: Front coil spring question
Ah, the infamous 'Chevy Lean'
Opinions will differ I'm sure, but after dropping as many of these trucks as I have, from 67-87. Even the S10s.. GM apparently built these trucks lower on the drivers side than on the passenger side. Was the isolator in one side, but not the other? If so, I'm betting it was in the drivers side? If it had isolators on both sides then I'm off base.. but drivers side only imo would be a spacer to adjust the Chevy Lean. It's hard to see on a stock height truck. But, with a big static drop you'll usually see the drivers side sits about 3/4" - 1" lower than the passenger side. I don't know how true it is but I've read GM built the trucks this way to accommodate the difference in the crown of the road. So the trucks feel like they sit level, vs leaning toward the passenger side as you drive them. Weird.. but I use a 3/4" Belltech spacer on the drivers side of almost every truck, S10, Blazer, etc I build. Just my .02
