Drivers side sits lower?

[Buds Dad]

This is probably an old topic about these trucks.This is my second C-10 and it sits lower on the drivers side.My 82 did it and I just bought an 85 that leans.I just put new front springs up front and still leans.Anyone have any suggestions?

Check you body bushings on the low side.  How bad is the lean?  Due to springs settle the truck won't be perfect at all 4 corners.

spring fatigue. very common, you'll most likely have to replace your leaves

I replaced the front springs with 1.5" Suspension Techniques lowering springs and Lowering shackles in the back.I sits 1" lower on the driverside before and after the replacement.Do the rear springs need to be replaced as a pair or could I just do the drivers side?

[VileZambonie]

Because of different spring rates and the spring steel that is used you would want to replace them as a pair.

 I think they call it Gas Tank lean. I switched the rear springs from side to side in the rear on a truck I had years ago, and it corrected it, when gas was cheaper I always kept a full tank.

Lift up the rad support a bit with a jack to check the mounts. I changed front springs before and found the frame was rusted at the mounts.
