Installed 886's: now I am 1 inch off on drivers side

Any ideas? So far the only one said was that one of the shocks may have been set to .85 instead of 0. But my thought was that the coil is doing all the ride height so then that puts me in the mind of thinking the coil is messed up or seated wrong?

 

Doing it now.

 

make sure both spring perches are on the correct way they should look like a bell one could be possibly upside down


^^^^haha i was writing this as chris said it but could be the problem

 

Passenger side

 

Driver side

 

The driver's side is lower but the driver's CV angle is more extreme ?

 

Passenger is 9"

 

Driver 9"

 

myb they only put the 886 on 1 side?

 

They measured out almost exactly the same, just 1/16 off I believe.

Not sure why that would be? Maybe because the passenger is higher?

The 886's were put on not an 885, they were marked and the old ones were dirty, still have the old ones and they are still dirty.

 

Both have 1/4 inch top plates

 

Is the CV situation as it should be ?

ie , driver's side is lower , but the CV angle is more extreme .

Is that a function of how the truck is sitting ?

 

The guy who helped me install suggested it may be a busted or defective spring. However the shop who installe the springs suggested that it may be that the strut compressed the shock when we were muscle it in to place.
