:confused: Installed tuff country 4" front lift springs several months ago. The drivers side sits an inch lower than the passanger side. Thought they might settle & level out over time but not luck. Loosened & retightened all front suspension bolts & no change. Truck sat level side to side prior to new springs. Any suggestions???
 
How did you measure? Take 3 or 4 measurements from the spring to the frame and do the same on the other side and compare measurements. Now measure from the spring eyes to the ground. That should tell you if it's the springs. If you can measure angles that might help in figuring it out.

If you still can't find it measure everything. Body to frame, frame to ground, body to ground, bumper, yer Johnson:eek1: Sooner or later you'll find it.
 
Exact same problem here. One thing to check is the spring pad level. Check and make sure they are the same on both sides. I think I may have spun an axle tube since I can see one perch is rotated a little different than the other side. I noticed this AFTER I welded on new perches trying to fix the problem. They were perfect right after welding but not anymore. :doah:
 
i dont know how true this is, but i have heard that the springs have a front and a rear side, and if one spring is reversed then it could possibly mess up how the truck sits. I have no idea how true this is, i just remember reading it somewhere, so you might wanna look into that.
