ok well my truck used to sit crooked so i figured it was haveing 300K on my rear springs and a bad bushing on the front driver side (it sits drivers side low) now i put 2 brand new 4 inch lift springs on the front and bought some v codes for the rear with 80,000 miles NOW after all the springs put on the LF (drivers side) sits 1.5 inches lower than RF and the LR sits 1.1 inches lower than the RR. and the LR spring is def more compressed than the RR. one would think the left rear spring is weak but with it sitting crooked before and after all the springs being swapped i would think either LR or RR maybe has a tweaked frame or something. can someone give me some help on what to do i am tight on money. is there some frame measurements i can take to see if it is tweaked?
What year is this truck? With 80K if the truck was used hard they may have issues. You said V code for rear? If this is a 99-07 the rear springs shoudl be B code or F codes V codes are normally what is used on a stock front end F250/350 99-04. Normally the drive front side can sit a tad lower but a 1.5 is a bit much but if the rear is off it would make the front cant even more.
See if you can stake some measurements of the actual rear springs from fixed points on both sides and compare. The other thing as was said to rule out is your frame being tweaked.
Hey Cory,
What reference points are you using to measure? What I'm getting at if measuring to fender arches vertically through the axles from the ground are your cab mounts and fender mounts all in good shape? I know my obs truck body panels are shimmed with spacers and are different from side to side. Just wondering if perhaps at the factory where hung on crooked and or cab body mounts are warn/installed wrong?
