lopsided.
I have new body mounts, new suspension and new Bilstein shocks and the truck is definitely lopsided. What should I look at / for as possible cause?
At the time this was taken the passenger front tire was flatter than the drivers side but there is clearly a difference in height here. What indeed is a possible adjustment that can be made? |

Re: lopsided.
Just eyeballing the distance from the bottom of the bumper to the top of your front springs, it looks like a body mount issue as opposed to a suspension issue. Maybe one (some) of them didn't seat properly.

Re: lopsided.
Quick measurements today reveals that the fender is a full inch higher in thedrivers side than the passenger. Going to go over various bits with a measuring tape to find out where the differences end.

Re: lopsided.
Years back, I purchased a set of front leaf springs for my k20 and there was a little over a half inch of difference between the two. I would measure the spring arch on both leafs to see if there was a manufacturing defect.
