    WHAAAAT? There is a difference? Tjeesh, considering I did my suspension last year I had a 50/50 chance of 'getting it right'. Thank goodness I got it right.
    Need to make a mental note if I ever work on it again. Thanks Chris.

    The stock springs are side specific. Eibach, OME, etc. springs are not, and usually need a Trim packer (OME), or a shim from 3/16 to about 1/4" to get level.

    I drove it around last night up a bumpy dirt road to make sure they were settled. I'm positive my stock coils are tired and sagging. My truck has had a preload lift on it for 5 years. I just recently started changing the lift out.

    Did you by chance put the spring seat upside down on one of them?

    No, If that happened then I'm pretty sure one side would be like 2 or 3 inches higher. Both are facing the correct direction.
