Truck not level (left to right)
hey guys,, got another wierd question for ya... i got my long arms, skyjacker 7 inch coils, and dana 60 front axle from a 99 2500 ram....
this truck sits kind anose heavy, but the truck sit driver side low... its almost like the springs are the worng rate, bot only one of them....
my dad did a articulation test... and now the passangers side sits nice and high, the way it should, but the driver side sits low.. low enough to have the wheel rub teh wheel well... but again, only on the drivers side...
any suggestions on whats wrong? or what ic na do to fix this

Depending on how old the kit is, yeah the spring could be worn in. Someone on here had that problem with their stock springs / leafs and I think they concluded that it was because the gas tank was on that side, the driver is on that side ect. - all the weight is on the drivers side and caused it to sag overtime. The important thing to ask is the truck that you got the stuff off of, did it lean? If it didn't, I would double check your setup on your truck. Make sure you have drop brackets installed for your pitman arm and track bar. If all of that is good and it were my truck, I would probably invest in a new set of coil springs and be done if it truely is a problem of spring sag. Post some pic's so we can see what your working with.

i am bad posting pics.. but they are brand new skyjacker 7 " coil springs,, the truck hasent been down the road with them yet.. hasnt been together for maybe 3 months yet...
but i am going to try jut lifting the truck up, to like reset the coils.. because the truck now sits that way after my dad did the articulation test, and he lifted the passengers side tire, but then the dirviers sits low... i dont understand it

The infamous Dodge lean. Almost all of them have it. The problem is that you have the weight of the battery and the gas tank on the driver's side and you probably drive alone more than not. All that weight on the driver's side causes the suspension to sag on that side sooner. Very common problem on these trucks.
