unlevel drop from side to side?

hello i had a 2 inch coil /4 inch shackle and hanger drop put on my truck and it just doesn't look correct. the passenger side has more of a gap between the fender and the tire on the front and back than the driver's side does. i don't understand because the coils should have dropped the same on both sides. and the hangers are adjusted to make the truck as low as possible on both sides. i just don't understand why.

what also confuses me is that when i am standing behind the truck the bed is not level with the rear glass. there is more of a gap between the glass and the bed on the passenger side (which also has more of a gap between the tire and fender)than on the driver's side? i just don't get it.

can anybody understand and give me feedback

Re: unlevel drop from side to side?

also at first i tried to put on 3 inch drop spindles and when i turned the wheel all to the left or right the rim would hit the lower control arm. i was using 17 inch torque thrust. i don't understand because ive seen the same trucks with a 3 inch drop spindles with 15 in wheels.

Re: unlevel drop from side to side?

Before I got my C10 I was into S10's and Blazers. From what I understand from your post, you seem to be talking about the "chevy lean." Every Chevy truck/suv my family has owned (going on 7 now, from s10's, blazers to full sizes) has always leaned lower on the driver side. I don't think I've seen a deffiante answer, but it seems to be a common concern on the "mini truck" forums.

I never heard of the chevy lean could it be the body mounts are sagging and its just more noticible now that the gaps are more filled in
