Front springs
I installed 2in drop springs today. Driver side floor to wheel well bottom is 35 in. Passenger side 34in. Looking from the front underneath I see the pass. side is on an angle, driver's side nearly straight up and down. Which is it supposed to be? The height on the pass. side reflects a drop, driver's side looks about the same. I did not measure recently before the install.

Re: Front springs
sounds like one of them didn't sit right in the cross member.

Re: Front springs
I twisted each until it was seated on the bottom arm. I think the driver's side I held straight up and down while compressing it. The other side I kind of let gravity influence while I raised it. So I have to change one of them tomorrow, the angle one offers the drop. I drove it ten miles and it drove well. I didn't expect two inches of drop since the former springs were original, but the vertical one was roughly same height as before.

Re: Front springs
I had the same problem after I put drop spindles and 1 inch drop springs. Checked it last week and now both sides are even. Maybe it just needs to settle. Drive it around a bit. Good luck.
