    so last night i went wheeling and got stuck in the dunes and the right rear was flexed out for a bit while i was waiting to get pulled out and now my entire passenger side is an inch lower than the drivers side with a full tank and me in it, any ideas on what happened or how i can fix it, the only thing i can think of is bent leafs, its really bothering me because it was sitting perfect before i went out.
    i can post pics in the morning

    Thanks for any help

    Check your shackles..... they might be 'frozen' in position not allowing the rear suspension to settle.

    Check your centering pins - could have broken one.....suspension shifted

    Check Ubolts, leaf springs, etc.

    .
    Is that coil hanging free? The bottom of the coil spring, compare it to the other side, isn't it supposed to be sitting on a ring that holds it in place?

    appears to be, although i cant really tell for sure.. a closer pic would be great but i think the spring would just fall to the bottom if it wasnt resting on something?

    Can you get a pic from outside the wheel well above the tire? The top of the spring basically.
