    ARB bumper, warn 9.5 winch. carbon fiber hood. Leer top with thule racks and MOAB from thule. Electric fans, blue sea fuse block, Sony dvd Head unit, Xm tuner and HD tuner. New carpet and new racing seats. ( other half doesnt like them i think). Nwor springs and adjustable coil overs. Sky jacker rear shocks. Slot and drilled rotors. Engine Titanium ceramic coated headers, no cat, jba cat back. URD Rear Sensor Simulator. Leds all around and inside cab and HID H4 hi/lo beams.
    For some reason when i saw your truck i could only think of one thing,, don't think you can do this but have your spring on backwards ( turn the spring around)? I know on my 95 you cant but i don't know because your year is different.

    Sounds stupid but something came to mind.

    This is what I was talking about when I asked...
    ^^^

    I don't think it will change anything if they are the same part #. Same part, same result. If you do take the off, put them on a bench eyes down, lien them up and see if they are different. If not, it is always going to lean that way. One spring should be taller than the other when on the bench. I can't recall which. Alternatively, measure the center-to-center distance on the frame from the main eye bolt brackets to the rear hangers. I think the longer distance is the side that needs the "taller" spring to compensate for more deflection.

    I already compared them side by side, after reading what you said before. No difference at all.The lean wasn't this dramatic immediately. I drove to a friends house, Walmart, then back home and it sagged 2" in that time. I don't know what to do now...

    4" lift leafs and it lifted me 1.5" on one side and 4" on the other. How would flexing it lift one side back up 2.5"? Not to sound like a dick but, don't think that will work.
