Suspension issue
So I finally completed the cpp lowering setup on my 72 shortbed. One side of the rear is 2 inches higher than the other. Thought, that's odd. Swapped springs from one side to the other and no difference, still same 2 inches. I dont see any damage to the frame or trailing arms. It was mostly level before this, but the springs had been heated to lower the truck originally. Any ideas on what to look at?
Thanks |

Re: Suspension issue
Sounds like a bent or damaged frame. Do you know if the trucks ever been wrecked?

Re: Suspension issue
I have had the truck since 1991. No wrecks on my watch. I have a body guy stopping by this week to take a look at it on the lift. I dont have a good feeling about the road I'm starting down...

Re: Suspension issue
The front springs not in the perch correctly threw the back off? The front is off just a little. I will double check the front springs in a bit

Re: Suspension issue
Put the front on jack stands. See if it's still crooked.

Re: Suspension issue
Just saw your reply applebmw. It's on a lift now. I will raise it up and check where they are seated. You guys saying the front springs move around (not just up and down)
