Jack it up and take tension off spring and move it about an eighth to a quarter of an inch away from the spring end stop on the top mount...let it down again and give it a good bounce to see if it settles properly.
Hope this helps.

Left are normally slightly shorter due to the extra weight on the drivers side all the time (you fat bastard) :P


Howver, while this is common for a lot of manufacturers (due to more parts on driver side than passenger) it sounds seriously odd to be THAT different.


Unless of course they built it that way cos you really are that fat.

My 4in springs were 15mm different in height side to side, my truck sits level when I'm in it, but looks a little crooked when it's parked.

I installed the spring the way the factory said to, so I don't worry about it.
