    i just checked the c-clip and it seems to be still perfect, the crazy thing is it drove fine from WA to Montana today besides a little alignment issue.

    I can see the coil seat in the picture and the welds (black spot under the coil).... Besides, if your coil seat was broken....that coil would be dangling there and your truck would be leaning MUCH worse than that! That coil seat holds the entire front suspension up....

    Don't always focus on the 'low side' - Something could have happened to the 'high' side causing it to force the other end of the truck downward.

    Is it even the passenger side is low? Or is your driver side higher than it should be?
    I guess I'm the slow one... Drr

    try putting a jack on the pass side and jacking it up, maybe something just needs to go back into position. :notsure:

    The truck looks like its leaning towards the passenger side front end. Gotta be something to do with the coil.. OP, if you can try to put a jack under the front end, take the tire off and post a picture on here.

    the shackles are really similar, not enough to cause this

    I can do that once i get a hold of a jack, im at college i have all the tools besides a jack. I reached out to the Montana tacos hopefully someone could be kind enough to let me use one for a few hours

    Not necessarily....I've had situations where the Pass side rear was high causing the drivers side front to pitch downward. Can't always assume its the low side.

    Yeah, the picture of the front end isn't really showing anything in detail... Hence why throwing all the possibilities of what's causing this till we get a better picture..
