Coil Help!

Mine's going back next week to get swapped. Mine are on mounted on the wrong side as well. My driver's side is 1/2" lower with the spacer installed. The 1/4" spacer is supposed to correct 1/2" height difference.

 

Yeah I have to get an alignment done on Monday from the same shop, so I'm going to ask them then. I believe they will swap out the coils to the proper sides because I told them they are side specific. I've heard you don't even need a spacer with stock springs unless it leaned before with them.

 

Hey man. Tools needed to swap aren't large in number but with limited tools or without prior experience it's far less of a headache to let them do the swap.

 

I'd have to agree with you. I did however remeasure this morning to find there's about a 1/4 inch of difference to 1/2 inch. I apparently don't know how to use a tape measure, but the difference is barely even noticeable. I'm just going to live with it cause sure as the world I'd put a 1/4 spacer, the truck would sit higher on the driver side.

 

That's that keen eye of @PeeRunner. You said 1" and he said 1/4". You remeasure and sure enough it's a 1/4". NEVER question the mighty Pee!

 

I know he's one awesome person! I enjoy it when he JUST PASSES THROUGH my threads lol. Got mad respect for him

 

Get dressed dick!

 

I'm thinking you got them on the right side, and the 1/2" difference is what many guys have. Again, most people visually, wouldn't even notice it. It's only when you measure, that you notice it.

Another reason to not put the spacer in when @ .85:

I had mine set to .85 for about 7-8 years, without issue, right after the spacer went in (about a year and a half ago) I developed the driver's side CV axle vibe. It wasn't as bad as some I've heard described, but was noticeable.

 

Yeah I think I'm just gonna live with the little lean. It's around a half inch or so, but it really isn't enough to notice. I mean I don't just stare at other people's trucks to determine if they sit perfectly level. If someone notices, I'll just say it's a truck. It's supposed to have some flaws lol And every truck is unique so I'm not gonna worry about it. Did you get your situation figured out?

 

Oh, to mention I don't have CV's lol I'm the wanna be 4x4 (Prerunner). Prerunners are in their own class, so I'm not bashing on em.

 

Prerunner FTMFW.

 

Good point. It says that right in your user name. Not the first time I missed something that obvious.

And yeah, I had the dealer install the ECGS bushing when they did the frame swap. Baby smooth now.
