how long did it take your drop springs to settle?
I purchaced a set of new drop springs from a member on here I just installed them in my suburban tonite. There was some noticeable drop on the passenger side but almost none on the driver. It not tagged but I took it for a quick spin but the driver side is still up higher by an inch. I forgot to measure beforehand but there suposed to be 3 inch drop springs and it only dropped about an inch so far. Should I wait to see if they settle or start cutting? Any one have pics of drop coils and stock side by side? Do these look like 3 inch drop springs to you all? Its a 1963 btw.

Make sure that the spring upper is in the pocket. The last c10 I bought it wasn't. Had a lean of about 1" and a pry bar set it back into rest while the truck was on a jack, no pressure on it. If it's not sitting level f to b or s to s something is bent.

The part number came back as 2inch drop springs I was told they were 3 by the seller. How much coil should I cut to get another inch?
