Title: truck is sagging
Post by: derekj on December 29, 2005, 07:15:32 PM

so here we go - the left front of my truck sits 1/2" lower than the right(measured at the frame). the left front would always bottom out way easier than the left. i have the bds suspension lift in my truck so i got a new set of front springs under warranty. i just put them in and the truck still sits 1/2" low on the left. i have gone thru the front end and nothing is bent or broken. my  question is - is the truck supposed to sit a bit low on one side? i never measured it before i put the lift in.

Did the springs look the same when out of the rig? I put a 2" old man emu spring lift in a buddys heep and they were a little bit off so I put the longer ones on the drivers side, they give you some yellow polly looking shims to put underneath the springs if they are off but they are only a 1/4" thick or so, I was not taking the springs back out for a 1/4" diff you might have to shift some weight around.

i have the old bds springs and the original suzuki springs sitting on my work bench. the bds ones are the same height and the factory ones are 1" shorter. i think i might just try and find a thin shim for the top of the coil spring but i might try swapping the springs from left to right.

Just a suggestion, but are both of the factory isolators in? Sounds like it's missing on the left side. They're about 1/4" thick and could result in about 1/2" diference.
