    LOL. What we wanted to see was the bottom of the spring - the part shown in this blow-up. :)

    I too would have to say that the passenger's side spring isn't sitting in the lower perch correctly, though it's not easy to be 100% certain from the photo. Check that the end of the coil is in the "pocket" on the perch. You might have to jack the front end of the truck up by the frame to see well enough.

    ^^^ agree. Make sure the end on the srpring is seated all the way in the perch pocket. If that's the case it is an easy fix.

    Nope, I'm not seeing anything.

    I see you measured from the ground. I assume you already ruled out such obvious causes as:

    unequal left/right tire pressure?

    uneven left/right tire wear?

    unusually heavy loading on one side or the other of the vehicle?

    Sorry.

    Try measuring from hub center to fender, not the ground to fender. Just saying.... did you take before measurements?

    Unfortunately i was too excited and forgot to measure before lift. Its dumping snow here but ill measure from the hub tomorrow. I also realized that although i did check tire pressure to make sure it wasnt the issue i drove it from charlotte to boone which with the temp difference might cause and issue? Its went from about 50 degrees to 30 degrees and i i just cant imagine that making any difference
