Spring forensics

[1LowToy]

I too my front suspension apart today. The truck only has 57k miles in 30 years. It's unknown if it was parked on uneven ground over the years but I did find the left front setting about 1" higher than the right. For that reason I'm buying new springs to cut down before I put it back together.

What I did find was that the left front spring was not quite seated on top and the right spring was shaped slightly different on the bottom coil. The first two pics are the left an right respectively showing the shinny marks of where they were seated. The third hopefully we can see it, the bottom end of the right side coil is closer to the next coil up than the left spring. I believe this is causing the leaning on my truck. Hopefully new springs and trimming them I'll come out with a level square

Just to pop in another question. Will I need shorter shocks with only one coil cut off? I may only go a half a coil to begin with and if it sets well I'm going to weld in a small secton of coil material to the lower control arm as a stop for the spring.

Real open to comments, especially if I'm screwin up my
