Limp passenger side.
I just replaced all front suspension parts on my truck because I lifted it another 2inches from the 6in it originally had. The passenger side is lower than the driver side height wise. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

Take some measurements with a measuring tape. You should be able to compare sides and figure out if the difference is the springs or something else.
I will tell you something else that bites a lot of people. They lift the truck up to do a whole bunch of suspension work, and they tighten everything up while it's up in the air and out of wack. You need to leave all the suspension joints loose, let it down on the ground and bounce it up and down a couple of times, and then crawl under and tighten things up.
I know it's a pain without it being lifted up to work on it, but things can get in a bind if you tighten stuff up with it lifted in the air with no weight on the wheels.
