coils different side to side?
« on: January 25, 2005, 03:44:29 PM »
I tried a search but got WAY too many hits to sift through.

Are the front coils specific from side to side? I put in 2" spacer lift (1.5" in front) and now the pass side is almost 1" higher than the drivers?

What gives? I have checked and nothing is binding and everything is seated right.

coils are exactly the same, something must be binding up. did you change the camber or toe? try driving the truck back and forth a bit and slam the brakes to see if it will settle more.

Could you have gotten one of the coils in upside down?

The trucklet will be higher until you
move, the tires seem to catch and
hold it up a little, and if you did one
side up in the air at a time this could
be whats happening

If you've driven it and it's still not level check and see if both springs a rotated correctly into the spring pockets on the bottom.

drove it to work this morning  ;D still seems to have a little bit of a lean. not as bad as before though. Thanks for the help! This IFS stuff is new to me! I'm pretty sure I got the springs rotated correctly but will check tonight when I get home.
