I'm out of whack somewhere... but where? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New body mounts (energy suspension poly's) and I kept the original shims in place with new washers, but the cab seems to be high on the driver side, and the control arms seem to sit at different angles.... any way to adjust?

First photo is passenger side arm and second is driver

These arms seem to be at different angles...

Sounds like one of your front coil springs may be weak and sagging....

Which is strange cause they're brand new, with barley 100 miles on them.

Looks like you need to do more research and measuring to see if and what is bent or installed incorrectly.

If you have a flat concrete floor measure both frame rails in the front, center, and rear of the truck and see what you come up with....

I did notice however that my springs (when truck is jacked and no weight on suspension) my drivers spring I can move with my hand and passenger is movable but much tougher to move/wiggle. They're 3 inch CPP drop springs.

Make sure the springs are seated properly into the notch in the lower control arm?

On a 68 1/2 ton, leaving one out of the notch caused that side to ride higher by about an inch.
