Quick question about rear leafs

Just curious i was doing some measurements on my truck today before i started to install the lowering kit and the left rear side of my truck sits bout an inch higher than the rear right side, Think that is a set of leafs that need replacing or maybe a front coil that is throwing the rear out of whack?

Re: Quick question about rear leafs

Could be a whole bunch of things. Is the truck is sitting on a level surface? If so, it could be a front spring but more likely would be the rear leafs. Depending on how much the truck has been loaded in it's lifetime, the spring may have sagged or there may even be a cracked leaf in one of the spring packs if it is a whole inch lower.
