I posted this in the suspension forum already but no one replied.

After installing the DJM 3/5 drop kit on my 95, my measurements are all wonky.

I lost the BEFORE measurements but the after measurements are as follows..

Left Front 16 1/4" Right Front 15 7/8"
Left Rear 15 1/2" Right Rear 16"

Would I be in the market for new rear springs because of the half inch difference in the rear measurements?

Right side measurements are within 1/8 inch but from this pic...



...it still looks a lot lower on the rear. I haven't got left sides to post but the 3/4 inch difference is noticable.

Would full fuel tanks cause a 1/2 difference in height between LR and RR?

I am sure that you took the truck to an alignment shop after you installed the lowering kit. If not then that may be your problem.

 

After i installed my Lightning Springs i used DJM Drop Shackels in the rear and used the first hole the truck is almost level when i drive the rear sinks back a little. When i fill both tanks the rear sinks about an 1/2 Inch more.

One more thing my stock leaf springs i had on i had the bed sag on the left side, after installing the Lightning leafts i still have the bed on the left side.

 

Thanks Jason. I was wondering if maybe 36 gals of gas would cause the rear to sag a bit more. That's almost 300 lbs.

I flipped my rear axle. It dropped 5.5 inches. The dream beams didn't get the full 3 inches. Did you install L springs in the front too? If so, how much did it bring it down? I'm thinking I should drop the front another 1 to 2 just to make it look right (in my mind). Then try to figure out the tire size for the front when I put the L wheels on.

 

yea front L coils it dropped 1" inch , the rear dropped 3" inches using tires size 275/60r17
