Front coil spring question

I think you have a point there about getting the frame at least checked. Now the problem is finding a place that knows what they are doing. With so many unibodies out there and truck owners that couldn't care less if something isn't right as long as it gets from A to B, qualified workers are becoming a rarity these days. It's hard to talk to a lamp post eh. On to the Todo list it goes and will be top of the list 2024. Have a good holiday stay safe.

It's the little things that drive you nuts and makes you lose sleep. Have a good day and be good. Santa is almost packed.

If you research "Chevy Lean" on Google, probably on YouTube too. It is a known issue with the 63-87 C series, OBS, S10s, etc. Belltech makes a spacer to correct it.

The truck will sit lower on the drivers front, and higher on the passenger rear. If you put the spacer in the drivers front it will offset it.

I thought this might be the issue with the OP question, but he said his had the spacers in both sides. Someone probably added them at some point.. who knows.

Good luck with getting it worked out.
