Quick ? about a leaning truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Last summer I lowered my 85 swb with 2" drop springs and 2" spindles and a flip kit in the rear. After it was done the infamous lean became noticeable. It leans almost an inch lower on the drivers side and from my educated guess its due to sagging leaf springs on that side. I've heard people say that you can swap the springs over from the other side. Would that fix it or would that make it lean to the passenger side?

Another question: If I buy new leaf springs for it is there specifics I need to be aware of? If I remember correctly there are two different lengths aren't there? Mine has 5 leafs so I should be good if I just by new ones if 5 leafs right?
