I put brand new front springs in my truck and it leveled it out and lifted the front back up 1.5inches. The new rear springs lifted it back up 2inches.
Btw, the engine torques to the right, so if that was the case the passenger side should be lower...

Maybe over time, the driver's side just carried more--between the gas tanks and the driver--and that bit of wieght causes the springs to sag a bit more after 20 years of it...??

He said the frame was equal height on both sides. It's gotta be a sheet metal thing going on.

yea thats what i meant was the sheet metal is off or something. i know the front fender is dented to crap on the pass side so mabey it got rammed up or something and bent the bracket.

Everything lines up too, hood grill doors.

I still need to lift it,. it just looks so much better 2" higher up.

I'll have to check all the body mounts see if the rubber part is shot, an if it is replace it with poly urethane
