Suspension lean
I'm on the finishing end of a frame-off restoration of my 1964 C10. All of the front suspension including the upper and lower control arm bushings were replaced, new 2-1/2 inch drop spindles and new 3-inch drop springs. After I hung the front sheet metal, I noticed the driver's side was about 3/4 inch lower than the passenger side. I made sure both coil springs are seated property in the control arms. When I measure from the bottom a-arm next to the rubber bump stop to the upper cross member, the driver's side measures 3/8 inch less than the passenger side. I do not have more than 100 feet on the truck since the suspension build, so maybe it needs to settle in when I hit a few bumps on future test drives......or is there anything else I should be checking? It sure seems the driver's side coil spring in compressing more than the passenger side from what I can tell. Is there anything else I can check/measure or should I just have patience and put a few miles on it before I get too worried?
