Coil Springs or something else?

Post by JBoRacer »

Hey Everyone, I have been assembling my truck since I got it back from the paint booth and today I pulled it out of the garage . I noticed the truck sits lower on the passenger side front and it looks as if the passenger side wheel is leaning just a little. Will new coil springs fix this issue or do I have another issue and what will fix it? I did pull the truck up on a pretty level spot on the driveway . As always, thanks for all your Fordification knowledge, I really appreciate it! :?

Find out what's wrong before you replace anything. Don't forget to check the rear suspension too.

My Bump sits low in the right/front because the left/rear has more leafs in the spring than the right/rear.

I just read a thread somewhere on here about different springs on the pass and driver side. I would check to see if that is correct before I spent any money. I just put mine together and didn't know about this until after I put it together. I probably did it wrong. Just something to look at for free.
