Weird problem

[DokWatson]

My truck visibly sags lower on the drivers side, I broke out the tape measure and confirmed it sits just under an inch lower than the passenger side. At first I thought it was the lift spring sagging, but I noticed the driver side shackle sits like this /-/ as if the truck is pushing against it. I got to measuring stuff and found the cast part of the D60 housing where the spring mounts is almost an inch taller than the driver side spring pad. Seems to me the only solution is a taller spring pad to correct the ride height of the truck. Anyone ever heard of that being a problem with a stock axle?

Maybe you could put an "easy inch" under that one side to make up the difference

Hmm, now you've got me wondering. My Blazer also sits lower on the drivers front and I thought it was a bad body bushing in that front corner, maybe i'll have to go measure my D60 pumpkin and perch for any variance.

My axle is already moved forward with zero rates.
